I have climate data in text files with no header in the format below from Udel's climate program. Each row has a lat, lon, and a temperature for each month (14 columns total) from 1900-2010. I need to generate a Raster layer for each year-month (1320 rasters) in ArcGIS.
I'm thinking the likely solution is a script to parse the existing text files to create an ESRI-formatted ASCII for each year-month and then use ArcToolbox to batch import ASCII to Raster. However, I don't have any experience writing scripts.
Another option I considered is if there is a way to import a table or dbf to raster, but I couldn't find that operation. Or, there may be another transformation that I'm not considering ...
Any help is greatly appreciated!
