HOW TO
In ArcGIS Pro, a network Common Data Form (netCDF) raster layer is created from a netCDF file to display multidimensional scientific data. The specific area of the netCDF raster layer can be extracted based on the polygon feature class using the Extract by Mask tool, the Clip Raster tool, or the Clip function. This method is useful for subsequent analyses and modeling that involve a dimension, such as a windstorm model in a specific region. The workflow provided in this article involves preserving pixel values by exporting the netCDF raster layer to another raster format. The exported raster file is then used as the input raster for the tools.
Note: The Extract by Mask tool requires a Spatial Analyst license.
Note: The netCDF raster layer must be exported to another raster format to prevent incorrect pixel values in the extracted output.
Note: If the Extract by Mask tool is used, select the exported netCDF raster layer for Input raster and select Inside for Extraction Area.
The map below shows the output raster layer with the pixel values within the feature mask data.
