Hey,

I am at the moment working with TRMM precipitation data. I've downloaded files as NetCDF format and made them to raster in ArcMap.

I only need a specific area from the raster so I have clipped it using a shapefile of the area of interest. But when I do this my clipped raster does not have the same pixel values as the original raster anymore. Why is this? What am I doing wrong?

I would very much aprreciate some help on this!

Thank you,
Helena

Hi Helena and comunity

I'm having the same problem!! to clip, to extract, or whatever.
The only extrange thing is that I worked with those images before and it didn't happen.

I'd like to know if you could solve the problem and how.

Please, I really need it soon.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1. Use Extract by rectangle tool (Spatial analyst > Extraction) on the NetCDF raster layer, this works fine and gives the correct pixel values for the clipped output.

Or

2. Export the NetCDF raster layer into a permanent raster and then use the clip tool this gives the correct pixel values for the output.


Thank You,

Gayathri
