Obtaining and Processing Daymet Data Using Python and ArcGIS

By Stefanie Bohms

Thumbnail of and link to report PDF (141 kB)Abstract

This set of scripts was developed to automate the process of downloading and mosaicking daily Daymet data to a user defined extent using ArcGIS and Python programming language. The three steps are downloading the needed Daymet tiles for the study area extent, converting the netcdf file to a tif raster format, and mosaicking those rasters to one file. The set of scripts is intended for all levels of experience with Python programming language and requires no scripting by the user.
