I can't believe that nobody has ever thought about making NetCDF4 convertable on ArcGIS Pro

Question

Hello everyone,

I have used the ArcGIS for 6 years and currently use ArcGIS files and still have a lot of things to learn. However, I am very surprised that ArcGIS Pro can neither read nor convert NetCDF4 directly if we consider how common this format is for climate and environmental data.

I have tried to use every means I can to read or convert it to readable geospatial data: RStudio, Matlab, and now ArcGIS pro. None of them worked. The Arcpy did not work either.

How do you even read NetCDF4 data, and how do you even convert it?

I would talk a look at these help docs. There are multiple ways to interact with NetCDF data within ArcGIS Pro. There are also many variables (potentially) within the NetCDF data that you can select from with the tools.
