Here is the code block.įigure 13: Comparing the accuracy of predicted precipitation to observed precipitation For this analysis, we will use the original monthly precipitation dataset and use a harmonic regression to account for seasonal fluctuations in precipitation. You can calculate the trends for one or more variables in a multidimensional raster. This tool helps estimate the overall trend for each pixel along a dimension (time in this case). To begin, we will use the Generate Trend Raster tool. Precipitation Patterns and TrendsĪnother way to look at this precipitation data is to use a simple regression model to look at the trends and predict future precipitation. ![]() Additional data points in upcoming years will help to separate the trend from the noise in this region. Annual precipitation trends in the Amazon rainforest region are again harder to identify, but it appears they have slowly but steadily increased. Over this time period, annual precipitation has steadily declined in the Sahara desert region to the point where it is now consistently below the long-term average. Using these graphs, we can see the overall trends in the Amazon rainforest region and the Sahara desert region. The anomaly data will let us see how the precipitation deviates from the average at each location over time.įigure 7: Precipitation anomaly in Amazon rainforest region We will use this tool to compute the anomaly for each time slice in the multidimensional precipitation raster. To do this, we will use the Generate Multidimensional Anomaly tool. A positive anomaly value indicates that the observed precipitation was greater than the long-term average precipitation, while a negative anomaly indicates that the observed precipitation was less than the long-term average precipitation. The term “anomaly” means a departure from a reference value or long-term average. Detecting Precipitation AnomalyĪnother way to look at changes in precipitation is by detecting anomalies. Trends in the Amazon rainforest region are less clear, but precipitation appears to have slightly increased in this region over time. From these trend lines, we can see that the average annual precipitation in the Sahara desert region has decreased over time. It can also be used to generate trend lines, shown here in red. The Temporal Profile Charting tool plots the mean annual precipitation on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The ArcGIS Notebook code shown here creates a raster object from a multidimensional raster dataset and applies the stretch function for better visualization.įigure 5: Precipitation changes in the Amazon rainforest region We will do this using the ArcPy GP tools. The first step is to ingest the data so you can visualize it in ArcGIS Pro. We will use the ArcPy to ingest the data and analyze it in ArcGIS Notebooks and ArcGIS Pro. If you wish to follow along, you can download the data here. ![]() We will also take a closer look at the Sahara desert and Amazon rainforest regions. In this brief investigation, we will use multidimensional NOAA data showing monthly global precipitation from 1900 to 2017 to analyze and predict precipitation trends around the globe. Much of the world’s freshwater supply is replenished through precipitation, so it is vital that we understand the changes already occurring. At the same time, South America is experiencing a slight increase in precipitation in past and severe storms. Current studies indicate that the Sahara Desert is expanding due to decreased precipitation over the region. As sea surface temperatures increase, these patterns change and areas around the globe experience either an increase or decrease in their annual precipitation. One effect of climate change is changes in precipitation patterns. You will also learn a simple way to build and share your analytical science products using NetCDF, HDF, and GRIB (curated by NOAA and NASA). In this post, we will walk you through how to incorporate a multidimensional scientific data workflow (ingest, visualize, analyze, and share) within ArcGIS and which of Esri’s latest multidimensional geoprocessing tools you can use.
