Make NetCDF Raster Layer

Makes a raster layer from a netCDF file.

1.    Input netCDF File

The input netCDF file.

2.    Variable

The variable of the netCDF file used to assign cell values to the output raster. This is the variable that will be displayed, such as temperature or rainfall.

3.    X Dimension

A netCDF dimension used to define the x, or longitude, coordinates of the output layer.

4.    Y Dimension

A netCDF dimension used to define the y, or latitude, coordinates of the output layer.

5.    Output Raster Layer

The name of the output raster layer.

6.    Band Dimension (optional)

A netCDF dimension used to create bands in the output raster. Set this dimension if a multiband raster layer is required. For instance, altitude might be set as the band dimension to create a multiband raster where each band represents temperature at that altitude.

7.    Dimension Values (optional)

The value (such as 01/30/05) of the dimension (such as Time) or dimensions to use when displaying the variable in the output layer. By default, the first value of the dimension or dimensions will be used. This default value can also be altered on the netCDF tab of the Layer Properties dialog box.

1. Dimension—A netCDF dimension.
2. Value—The value of the dimension to use.

8.    Value Selection Method (optional)

Specifies the dimension value selection method.

1. BY_VALUE—The input value is matched with the actual dimension value.
2. BY_INDEX—The input value is matched with the position or index of a dimension value. The index is 0 based; that is, the position starts at 0.

9.    Cell Registration (optional)

Determines the location of the cell registration.

1. CENTER—Cell registration at the center of the cell. This is the default.
2. LOWER_LEFT—Cell registration at the lower left of the cell.
3. UPPER_LEFT—Cell registration at the upper left of the cell.

Make NetCDF Table View

Make NetCDF Table View

Makes a table view from a netCDF file.

1.    Input netCDF File

The input netCDF file.

2.    Variables

The netCDF variable, or variables, used to create fields in the table view.

3.    Output Table View

The name of the output table view.

4.    Row Dimensions (optional)

The netCDF dimension, or dimensions, used to create fields populated with unique values in the table view. The dimension, or dimensions, set here determine the number of rows in the table view and the fields that will be present.

For instance, if stationID is a dimension in the netCDF file and has 10 values, by setting stationID as the dimension to use, 10 rows will be created in the table view. If stationID and time are used and there are 3 time slices, 30 rows will be created in the table view.

5.    Dimension Values (optional)

A set of dimension-value pairs used to specify a slice of a multidimensional variable.

1. Dimension—A netCDF dimension.
2. Value—The value of the dimension to use.

6.    Value Selection Method (optional)

Specifies the dimension value selection method.

1. BY_VALUE—The input value is matched with the actual dimension value.
2. BY_INDEX—The input value is matched with the position or index of a dimension value. The index is 0 based; that is, the position starts at 0.

Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer

How to use Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer Tool in Arc Toolbox ArcMap ArcGIS??

Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer

Path to access the tool

:

Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer

Makes a raster layer from data stored on an OPeNDAP server.

1.    Input OPeNDAP URL

The URL that references the remote OPeNDAP dataset. The URL should resolve to the dataset level (for example, file name), not a directory name.

2.    Variable

The variable from the OPeNDAP dataset that will be used to create the raster layer.

3.    X Dimension

The dimension of the OPeNDAP dataset used to define the x, or longitude, coordinates of the output raster layer.

4.    Y Dimension

The dimension of the OPeNDAP dataset used to define the y, or latitude, coordinates of the output raster layer.

5.    Output Raster Layer

The name of the output raster layer.

6.    Extent (optional)

The output extent of the raster layer. Specify the extent coordinates in the units of the OPeNDAP data source (these could be latitude-longitude, projected coordinates, or some arbitrary grid coordinates). The purpose of this parameter is to allow subsetting to an area of interest or to reduce the size of the data that is transferred.

7.    Dimension Values (optional)

The starting and ending values of the dimensions or dimensions used to constrain which data will be extracted from the remote OPeNDAP server. By default, the minimum and maximum values of the dimension or dimensions will be used.

1. Dimension—A netCDF dimension.
2. Start Value—The start value to use for the specified dimension.
3. End Value—The end value to use.

8.    Value Selection Method (optional)

Specifies the dimension value selection method.

1. BY_VALUE—The input value is matched with the actual dimension value.
2. BY_INDEX—The input value is matched with the position or index of a dimension value. The index is 0 based; that is, the position starts at 0.

9.    Cell Registration (optional)

Controls how the cells are registered with respect to the XY coordinates.

1. CENTER—XY coordinate represents the center of the cell. This is the default.
2. LOWER_LEFT—XY coordinate represents the lower left of the cell.
3. UPPER_LEFT—XY coordinate represents the upper left of the cell.
