2. Load raster layers from NetCDF

In this chapter, we're going to load NetCDF layers as rasters into QGIS.

1. Start QGIS Desktop.

2. In the Browser panel, locate et_look_out.nc and expand the contents by clicking the arrow.


You can see that the NetCDF file has the  icon that indicates that it contains layers.  indicates raster layers, while  is used for mesh layers. In this chapter we'll focus on the raster layers.

3. Select the et_24_mm raster layer and drag it to the map canvas.


Because the raster layer contains a layer for every day in the dekad, it is by default visualised as a multiband raster. This is not very useful for this type of information. Let's change that.

4. In the Layers panel, click  to open the Layer Styling panel.

5. In the Layer Styling panel, change the renderer from Multiband color to Singleband pseudocolor.

6. At Band, use the drop-down menu to choose a time step, e.g. Band 08.

7. Finally, choose a Color ramp to visualise the evapotranspiration of the chosen date.


In this way, we can visualise ET for a specific day of the dekad.

In a similar way you can load and visualise the other raster layers in the NetCDF file.
