topic Compatibility issues with raster data and ArcGIS in Mapping Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/compatibility-issues-with-raster-data-and-arcgis/m-p/326372#M3433 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hey ya'll, </P><P>I'm a student attempting to make a map of soil types and microclimates in Sonoma County, California and I've run into some trouble with the climate data I found. I went to Cal-Adapt <A href="http://cal-adapt.org/data/download/" title="http://cal-adapt.org/data/download/">Cal-Adapt -- Exploring California's Climate Change Research</A> and found some amazing data which I would love to use in my project but I can't upload it directly into ArcGIS online or ArcGIS for desktop because the download is in the format of a TGZ file. The data itself is in GeoTIFF or ASCII raster formats, but my question is how do I get that into ArcGIS? I imagine I have to unzip it first but then after that I'm unsure what the next step is. My understanding of this software is basic but I will be taking another class on it in the Fall semester. I appreciate anybody taking the time out of their day to read this and help me out, Thank you. </P><P>-Nathan </P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 28 May 2015 18:12:17 GMT Nathan_Molony-Benjamin 2015-05-28T18:12:17Z Compatibility issues with raster data and ArcGIS https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/compatibility-issues-with-raster-data-and-arcgis/m-p/326372#M3433 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hey ya'll, </P><P>I'm a student attempting to make a map of soil types and microclimates in Sonoma County, California and I've run into some trouble with the climate data I found.
