Extracting Data from netCDF files using QGIS and ArcGIS

In this video, you will learn how to extract data from netCDF files using QGIS and ArcGIS

NetCDF(Network Common Data Form) is one of the most commonly used file formats especially for storing multidimensional scientific datasets. In this video, you will learn how to unpack the stored information in netCDF files using the tools of both ArcGIS and QGIS3.

When using ArcGIS, you can can make use of the "Make netCDF Raster Layer" tool to project the dataset as a raster file, for any number of variables, while taking into account the time dimension as well. In QGIS, you can import the netCDF file directly as a raster file, however once the file is imported you may have to change the Symbology accordingly to visualize corresponding dataset.

Hi, Thank you so much for your explanation, it is very useful! Do you have any clue about how to reproject NetCDF rasters, and more specifically, how to pass from rotated coordinates to regular ones, as long as many climate datasets have a rotated CRS? I'm not finding anything resolutive!

[ecobranon]

Thanks. This is extremely useful. I was wondering if you have a guide to writing a python script so that we can create a separate raster for each of the months? My nc file has 480 months. Point and click would be too consuming.

Thanks for the video. How can we clip a netCDF dataset by a shapefile and get the spatially averaged value of the variable??

It is a quite useful video. Thanks for your efforts.

Hi, thank you very much for your video! I was wondering, do you know the workaround of calculating the average value for the sum of these "bands" which i have in netCDF file, not exporting rasters one-by-one. Thank you!

[adrianrodriguezespinosa]

hey thanks you the video, where can i find the dataset you use?

[cyrahinocente]

Hii ! I have a problem converting my file into a raster because the choices in X and Y dimensions are only time and level. How to fix this problem?

Hello! Where can we download this netCDF file for mean temperature and monthly precipitation?

[samadnasar]

where this .nc data is available, that you have used in tutorial?

[souvikpal]

Please make a video on extracting gridded precipitation data

[rathnakumarv]

here, how to do batch operation giving n number of input files at a time?
