2.  Web Mapping Services  Web Feature Services  Web Coverage Services  OPeNDAP  All use HTTP  Subsetting  Resampling  Different data types, data models

3.  ESRI ArcGIS/SDE  ESRI Grid  WMS, WCS (WFS)  THREDDS (many other options)  NetCDF, CF, HDF, GRIB, …  WMS, WCS, OPeNDAP

4.  Python  ArcGIS w/Python  MATLAB  …

5.  Traditional raster  Structured curvilinear  TINs

6.  Scipy, numpy  come w/ArcGIS  Enthought  Packages lots of great python packages together  Not always readily usable w/an ArcGIS install

8. Uses 10.1, LandXML

9. Reads UGRID format into ESRI Shapefile, approximates a TIN (w/shapefile of polygons & shapefile of points)

11. Enthought maintains this code.

12. Tons of great functionality beyond ArcGIS!

13.  ESRI and Enthought ensure distributions are compatible  ArcGIS leverage the 100 packages in the Enthought Python Distribution  Serious Python users to leverage ESRI tools

14.  Unidata has a Java Common Data Model (CDM)  C Common Data Model (libCF) still in development  We need a Python (or C) CDM library!  When we have one, ESRI can leverage it!

15.  ArcGIS more of an integrative platform  ArcGIS users can exploit the world of OPeNDAP data  Dan Sampson, coastal zone manager in Massachusetts, working in ArcGIS, can create his own products from OPeNDAP Data

19.  ArcGIS10.0 has Python integration  There are several Python OPeNDAP modules  How about PyDAP? NO!  NetCDF4-Python? YES! Common interface for NetCDF3, NetCDF4 files and OPeNDAP datasets! (Uses Unidata’s NetCDF C library w/native OPeNDAP)  But wait… NetCDF4-Python binary had not been built for Windows  Python community’s Christoph Gohlke (UCI) to the rescue!!! (Python 2.6/2.7/3.0 Win32/Win64 and special ArcGIS10.0 and ArcGIS10.1 builds)

21.  Create Mosaic Dataset  Add Raster to Mosaic Dataset  Open Attribute Table  Add time field  Edit Mosaic Dataset  Add date value to each raster layer  Enable time on Mosaic via LayerProperties  Use Time Slider to play around! http://esriaustraliatechblog.wordpress.com/2011/08/18/time-enabled-rasters/
