Abstract:
This paper discusses the creation of a FastBit bitmap index from the contents of a netCDF file. Using a twostep transformation, netCDF is loaded into a FastBit bitmap index which can then be used to perform quick and highly efficient data queries. Metadata from the original netCDF is utilized along with the bitmap indexes and the output is extracted and visualized in several formats. The performance of the netCDF-FastBit indexes is shown to be far greater than accessing the netCDF file without.
