Make Trajectory Layer (Data Management)

ArcGIS Pro 3.3 | | Help archive

Summary

Generates a feature layer from selected variables in a trajectory file.

Usage

  • This tool can use trajectory data from satellite altimetry sensors such as Jason, Sentinel-3, CryoSat, and ICESat.

  • Different sensors may use different variable names for the same type of measurement. The Predefined Variables parameter combines data from sensors by mapping variable names to a common measurement type. For example, to merge sea surface height data from sentinel 3 and sentinel 6, specify the Sea Surface Height option. The tool will map the corresponding variables to a common variable in the output trajectory layer. See Trajectory type properties for a list of predefined variables for each available sensor.
