Create a mosaic dataset using the Multiband Composite template

This workflow describes the steps to create a mosaic dataset using the Multiband Composite template.

1. Create a mosaic dataset using the Create Mosaic Dataset geoprocessing tool.
2. Add data using the Add Rasters To Mosaic Dataset geoprocessing tool.
   1. Choose one of the multidimensional raster types: GRIB, HDF, or NetCDF.

      

   2. Specify the input file or workspace containing the files.

      If your input is only one or two files, choose the File option rather than the Workspace option, as it performs faster.

   3. Click the Raster Type Properties button.

      The Raster Type Properties dialog box appears.

   4. Click the General tab and choose the Multiband Composite processing template.
   5. Click the Variables tab and choose the variables you want to include in your mosaic dataset composite.

      

   6. Click OK to close the Raster Type Properties dialog box.
   7. Check Estimate Mosaic Dataset Statistics in the Mosaic Post-processing section.
   8. Click OK to run the tool.

      The output result is automatically added to the map.

   The band information is listed under the Key Metadata tab in the Raster Function Properties window of the item listed in the attribute table of the mosaic dataset.
