Working with NetCDF Data in ArcGIS 10.1

Description

Professionals in the oceanic and atmospheric communities often use the popular file format called the Network Common Data Form (netCDF) to create, manage, store, and distribute scientific data. ArcGIS 10.1 works with this file format, reading and writing data that's stored in netCDF and letting scientists and researchers integrate data related to temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and ocean currents into analysis workflows. In this seminar, you will learn how to create rasters, features, and tables from multidimensional data. The presenter demonstrates techniques for visualizing the data. You will see geographic information system (GIS) workflows that incorporate large collections of netCDF data, such as the process of delineating climate zones and calculating surface temperature variability.

Who Should Attend

• GIS professionals and scientists who analyze climate data and work with data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to model change in the ocean
• GIS analysts and emergency managers who incorporate weather forecasts into their GIS models

Learn How To

• Visualize multidimensional data as raster and feature layers and tables.
• Create time animations and graphs of multidimensional data.
• Incorporate multidimensional data into larger GIS-based workflows.

This seminar was developed to support the following software products:

• ArcGIS 10.1 for Desktop (Basic, Standard, or Advanced)
