Available with Image Analyst license.

The Multidimensional Analysis tools allow you to perform analysis on scientific data across multiple variables and dimensions.

Multidimensional data represents data captured at multiple times, depths, and heights. This type of data is commonly used in atmospheric, oceanographic, and earth sciences. In ArcGIS Pro, you can manage, visualize, and analyze multidimensional raster data in multiple formats including netCDF, HDF, GRIB, the multidimensional mosaic dataset, and Esri's Cloud Raster Format (CRF).

The following table lists the multidimensional analysis tools and provides a brief description of each.

Tools in the Multidimensional Analysis toolset

Tool	Description
Aggregate Multidimensional Raster	Generates a multidimensional raster dataset by combining existing multidimensional raster variables along a dimension.
Generate Multidimensional Anomaly	Computes the anomaly for each slice in an existing multidimensional raster to generate a new multidimensional raster.
