Hi folks,
I have a dataset that is a 4-dimensional array of values: time,x,y,z
We're currently using netcdf to store it, which is well suited to this
kind of data.
However, we also need to get it into a GIS (Arc in this case), and I'm
trying to find a good way to do that.
Both Arc and gdalinfo do strange things if I simply point them at the
netcdf file. GDAL seems to (arbitrarily?) see it as a 9064 band data
set, so it is taking particular slice (I think I'm getting a bunch of
(time, z) 2-d bands.
Anyway, I suspect that if I re-arrange the axis in the netcdf file, I
might get something more reasonable, but my question is:
What is a good format to ex[press this to a GIS system?
I'm imaging multiple files, maybe geo-tiff, but how to I express time
and elevation in a way that is natural to GIS?
thanks for your thoughts,
-Chris
