Background: I have data of whale sightings which include many different fields, but I will be using dates, lat/lon, ID of the group of whales present, number of whales present, and five different polygons in which these sightings occur. I need to analyze how the sightings have changed over time, e.g., are we seeing certain groups of whales more than others? Are there groups closely associated with other groups? Are there certain times of year a group is more likely to be seen? Is there an area a group is more likely to frequent?
It was suggested to me to use a Space Time Cube analysis. I trialed creating the STC by aggregating points and I am receiving the following warning:
I would only consider myself a novice with ArcGIS Pro and definitely not familiar with CF conventions, which I did look at but it's Greek to me.
Can anyone offer advice on what I should be doing?
AND, if there would be a better way to analyze my data, I am absolutely open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Jill
