An overview of the Multidimension toolbox

The Multidimension toolbox contains tools that are used to create and manage netCDF, GRIB, HDF, OPeNDAP, Esri's CRF, multidimensional mosaic datasets, and multidimensional image services. You can use these tools to generate multidimensional metadata; create a multidimensional raster or feature layer (from netCDF files only), or table view (from netCDF files only); select a specific slice from a multidimensional dataset; or create a subset of a multidimensional raster dataset.

ToolDescription

Build Multidimensional Info

Generates multidimensional metadata in the mosaic dataset, including information regarding variables and dimensions.

Build Multidimensional Transpose

Transposes a multidimensional raster dataset, which divides the multidimensional data along each dimension to optimize performance when accessing pixel values across all slices.

Make Multidimensional Raster Layer

Creates a raster layer from a multidimensional raster dataset or a multidimensional raster layer by slicing data along defined variables and dimensions.

Make OPeNDAP Raster Layer

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

Manage Multidimensional Raster

Edits a multidimensional raster by adding or deleting variables or dimensions.

Select by Dimension

Updates the netCDF layer display or netCDF table view based on the dimension value.

Subset Multidimensional Raster

Creates a subset of a multidimensional raster by slicing data along defined variables and dimensions.

Multidimension tools

The NetCDF toolset contains tools for processing netCDF data and to write to netCDF files.

ToolsetDescription

NetCDF

The NetCDF toolset contains tools that operate on netCDF data. You can use these tools to make a netCDF raster layer, feature layer, or table view. You can also convert a feature, raster, or table to a netCDF file.
