Hi,

I have daily rainfall data in a year in geotiff format with file naming convention "rainfall_yyyymmdd.tif" and I would like to get maximum rainfall value per year per pixel and information about which date the max value came from.

Getting the max value is doable using Cell Statistics, but how to get information about date of the max value?

I am planning to do the calculation for 36 years data (1981 - 2017).

Thank you, Benny

Benny... do a manual check.

Set the color ramp for the max to 'Precipitation'

The other raster is the 'day' that the maximum occurred.

Let me know... it takes less than 30 seconds to do a run... 30 * 30 is less time to automate it to do

everything

you just need make folders in line 44, 45... put all the raster folders into line 44's folder and the results have to go into a separate folder

Purpose:
    Process daily climate data... for this time, the daily max by
    location.  Bali, is the locale.

How comfortable are you with numpy?

You could make a 3d array (year, x, y) and determine the max of that easily, then there is an argmax function in numpy that will tell you the 'where' the max occurs... in your case, you could end up with a final array with the max value and the year that the max occurred on a yearly basis.

If you aren't, then it would be possible to just compare the max raster in a loop to find the year that the max values occurred.

Hi Dan, thank you for reply

I am not familiar with numpy and friend, I can only use script, without knowledge write a code. You and Xander Bakker always helping me solve my previous problem  My latest question to you and Xander about "percentile from raster timeseries".

From your suggestion, which tool should I use to compare? Is it doable using Model Builder raster iteration?

ahhh yes How to calculate the percentile for each cell from timeseries raster 

# ---- lines 19 and 20
a_m = np.array(arrs_m)
a_max = np.nanmax(a_m, axis=0)


# ------ now an example --------------------
a = np.random.randint(1, 10, size=(4, 5, 6))# ----  years
array([[[6, 4, 7, 1, 1, 1],
        [1, 1, 3, 9, 6, 7],
        [1, 6, 9, 9, 3, 6],
        [6, 8, 3, 5, 8, 4],
        [5, 8, 7, 6, 1, 5]],

       [[9, 1, 6, 7, 9, 1],
        [1, 3, 7, 8, 2, 9],
        [2, 1, 8, 7, 5, 3],
        [7, 9, 1, 3, 6, 4],
        [1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1]],

       [[9, 9, 3, 4, 3, 6],
        [2, 3, 9, 6, 5, 1],
        [7, 8, 8, 5, 1, 7],
        [6, 7, 2, 8, 4, 6],
        [1, 8, 1, 8, 6, 2]],

       [[3, 4, 5, 2, 6, 1],
        [6, 3, 2, 6, 9, 2],
        [3, 4, 9, 3, 7, 7],
        [6, 4, 4, 9, 6, 3],
        [6, 9, 2, 2, 4, 8]]])

a_max = np.nanmax(a, axis=0)

a_max  # ---- The maximum by location regardless of year
array([[9, 9, 7, 7, 9, 6],
       [6, 3, 9, 9, 9, 9],
       [7, 8, 9, 9, 7, 7],
       [7, 9, 4, 9, 8, 6],
       [6, 9, 7, 8, 6, 8]])


# ---- now the 'time' that the max occurred
np.argmax(a, axis=0)
Out[8]: 
array([[1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2],
       [3, 1, 2, 0, 3, 1],
       [2, 2, 0, 0, 3, 2],
       [1, 1, 3, 3, 0, 2],
       [3, 3, 0, 2, 2, 3]], dtype=int64)

Now this requires interpretation...

let's look at line 37 row 0

9, 9, 7, 7, 9, 6

now line 47 row 0

1, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2

the max occurred at those locations at.

For example top left corner, max is 9 and the time period was 1 (counting from 0 )

next over, max is 9, time period was 2

next over, max is 7, time first period 0

next over, max is 7, time period 1

next over, max is 9, time period 1

and the last, max is 6, time period 2

repeat.  

Now if you want to find out which time period had the most maximums by location... I can do that.

If you want to see if there is any clustering spatially in the time of maximum... ditto

how about …. fill in the blank …..

So see if you can resurrect the thread and give it whirl yourself

Thank you Dan, I understand the logic but still hard for me to think the next step.

Let me try to do it manually for 1 year using Excel, and will see how long it takes to do it.

why don't you zip and attach a year or two of the tif files to your original post

Done! 

I try to make it small, its only daily rainfall for Bali island 1981-1982

Benny … 1981 max … 

Looks ok?  

I will spruce itup after you give the ok.

I had to make some minor changes to the code to simplify a few things.

Now... do you really need the precision to 1/100 of a millimeter? or would the nearest mm be ok?

BennyIstanto

Perfectly match with manual process using CellStatistics MAX. Nearest mm its acceptable. 

Thank you Dan!
