I have numerous netCDF files of climate variables distributed over a study area and I was hoping to analyze that in ArcGIS. However, if I try to use the data, the only way I can get it into GIS makes a raster with one band for every time point. The Emerging Hot Spot Analysis tool could be very helpful, especially with its ability to generate slopes from a Mann-Kendall analysis of each time-series point.
You can use the Make NetCDF Feature Layer tool to create points for input into the Create Space Time Cube tool. When you point to your data, the X Variable and Y Variable will auto-populate, but be sure to pick lat, long and time in the Row Dimensions parameter. This will create a unique point lat/long for each time period. Also, you may need to use the Project tool as climate data is not typically projected and the Create Cube tool requires projected data.
