Create Space Time Cube takes point datasets and builds a multidimensional cube data structure (netCDF) for analysis. Emerging Hot Spot Analysis then takes the cube as input and identifies statistically significant hot and cold spot trends over time. You might use the Emerging Hot Spot Analysis tool to analyze crime or disease outbreak data in order to locate new, intensifying, persistent, or sporadic hot spot patterns at different time-step intervals. The Local Outlier Analysis tool takes the cube as input to identify statistically significant clusters of high or low values as well as outliers that have values that are statistically different than their neighbors in space and time. The Utilities toolset enables you to visualize the data and analysis results stored in the space-time cube in two and three dimensions. These visualization tools can be used to understand the structure of the cube, how the cube aggregation process works, and to visualize the analytical results added to the cube by other Space Time Pattern Mining tools. See Visualizing the Space Time Cube for strategies to allow you to look at cube contents.

NetCDF Extractor is a windows software for view, convert, merge, and
extract data from .nc and .nc4 files. It can extract several nc files,
simultaneously. When a user wants to extract several files of nc format
simultaneously, he/she requires to load them at a same time with together,
loading the files one by one will be a time consuming and tedious process
and prone to error. By this software the user can save his/her time, and
quickly do the extract process. Also, it has a calculator tool. In this
calculator by entering latitude and longitude of the desirable region, the
user can view of the grid number of that region. In the latest version of
NetCDF Extractor, Agrimetsoft has added two options: Sum” and “Average”.
So, the user can easily calculate the average and sum values of the
selected area (grids). Data is shown in an organized table, and you can
choose to export everything to Excel. This tool is flexible to run for
various datasets such as CMIP5 models, AgMERRA, Aphrodite, CRU, and etc.
Agrimetsoft support all the users until they can extract the data.
