And once I introduce it to GIS to use it as a raster input to calculate zonal statistics using as feature zone the world borders (</SPAN><A href="http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php">http://thematicmapping.org/downloads/world_borders.php</A><SPAN>).</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>My first question is how to introduce the dat data into GIS. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>An second, once I introduce it can I use it as a regular raster file and do zonal statistics?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can anyone help? I use ARCGIS 10.1</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:25:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/dat-data/m-p/445346#M25435 AnLat 2013-03-29T10:25:31Z Re: DAT data https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/dat-data/m-p/445347#M25436 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>ArcMap does support .DAT files in a certain format.&nbsp; After reading the documentation on your data, I am not sure if that is the format that is supported.
