Space-Time • The ESRI Time Project – Comments by Steve Kopp • Time series and ArcGIS: What can I use now? • Tracking Analyst • Plotting graphs of Attribute Series using CRWR TS Plotter • A true Temporal GIS: What does ArcGIS need? • Hydrologic Flux calculations: Florida Example • A new file type?: NetCDF
Tracking Analyst • Simple Events • 1 feature class that describes What, When, Where • Complex Event • 1 feature class and 1 table that describe What, When, Where Arc Hydro
Simple Event Unique Identifier for objects being tracked through time Observation Time of observation (in order) Geometry of observation
Complex Event (stationary version) Cases 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 The object maintains its geometry (i.e. it is stationary)
Complex Event (dynamic version) Cases 6 and 7 The object’s geometry can vary with time (i.e. it is dynamic)
Tracking Analyst Demo • Show the Galveston Bay Monitoring Point feature class and Time Series Table • Show the temporal layer • Show the tracking analyst time “Playback Manager” • Animate bacteria concentrations

Arc Hydro Attribute Series Feature Class (HydroID) Attribute Series Table (FeatureID)
Attribute Series Typing TSType Attribute Series • Map time series e.g. Nexrad • Collections of values recorded at various locations and times e.g. water quality samples • This is current Arc Hydro time series structure 1 * Type Units Regular …. Type Time FeatureID Value
Plotting Attribute Series • One feature with a time-dependent Attribute • Observed or Modeled • Complications • Regular or Irregular in time • Many Types (rainfall, streamflow, dissolved oxygen, etc.) • Instantaneous, cumulative, averaged, min, max, etc. • Different units (cfs, m3/d, gpd, etc.) • Plot the data in ArcMap
TS Plotter Demo • Show TSType Table • Plot time series for a few MonitoringPoint features • Summarize data into yearly averages • Export data and chart to Excel • Show exported data and chart in Excel
South Florida Water Management Project • Prototype region includes 24 water management basins, • More than 70 water control structures managed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) • Includes natural and managed waterways Prototype Area Lake Kissimmee Lake Istokpoga Lake Okeechobee
Questions that SFWMD wants Answered • How much water is there? • Where is the water in the District? • How much water will enter the canal system? • How can water be routed from one basin to another?
DBHydro TimeSeries Achieve of Water Related Time Series Data currently used by SFWMD Example of Flow Data: Daily Average Flow [cfs] at Structure S65 (spillway) Spatial Information About point of measurement Unique 5-digit alphanumeric code calledDBKEY Date/Time Value • DBHydro can be accessed at:http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/ema/dbhydro/index.html
Coupling Table: Linking Control Volume to Features Water Balance performed over a Control Volume (i.e.: Basin) Coupling Table links the Control Volume (basin) to all features that transfer water into and out of the Control Volume Horizontal (structures) Vertical (rainfall, ETp) Qin Qrain Qevap Qout S65BC Basin
