Chris, I have some experience trying to get ArcGIS to work well with time series satellite imagery and 4D ocean models (e.g. HYCOM, ROMS). Similar to GDAL, it does not appear that multidimensionality was designed into the current versions of ArcGIS. Like GDAL, ArcGIS appears mainly designed to wor

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but if those netCDF files are of a similar type that one can get from the poet site (http://poet.jpl.nasa.gov/), Mirone has a tool called "Aquamoto" (a tool original developed to show time stamps of a tsunami propagation models) that loads those fi

I don't think there is a GIS that does this in a natural way - all you can do is read in multiple slices. If the order of your axes really is time, x, y, z then you will have y.n * z.n (time, x) slices (as bands) when read by GDAL - NetCDF will tend to store dimensions in reverse order to the natu
