NOAA Scripts & Extensions
| Hotlink pdf’s ArcView 3.x Script |
|
|
This script facilitates hot-linking pdf documents from within ArcView 3.x. The script checks for versions of Adobe 4.x, 5.x and 6.x both Acrobat and Reader.
|
|
|
| Script Import/Export Tools 3.x Extension |
|
| This extension facilitates importing and exporting multiple scripts from projects. Multiple scripts are exported to a common folder preserving the script name, substituting periods with underscore and appending .ave extension. The multiple import function preserves the scripts name, strips the .ave extension, and compiles the scripts. This can be especially useful in archiving development steps, or in projects that are used to develop avx’s (extensions). |
| |
| Pick Grid Value ArcView 3.x Script |
|
| This script uses a point theme to pick a cell value from a coincident grid theme and add that value to a field in the point theme’s attribute table. |
| |
| Create Lines From Points ArcView 3.x Script |
|
| This script creates a line drawn between two (or more) points within a common record and saves a polyline shapefile. Useful for representing beach seine or fish trawl efforts and for creating centroids from the lines. |
NOAA Office of Response and Restoration Emergency Response Division (ERD)
| GNOME ArcView 3.x Extension |
|
| The General NOAA Oil Modeling Environment (GNOME) trajectory software predicts how wind, currents, and other processes might move and spread oil spilled on the water. The ArcView extension can be used to view your GNOME trajectories in ArcView. |
|
|
| ALOHA ArcView 3.x Import Extension |
|
| Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) is a computer program that uses information you provide it, along with physical property data from its extensive chemical library, to predict how a hazardous gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release. The ArcView 3.x extension can be used to import an ALOHA footprint into ArcView 3.x. |
|
|
| ALOHA ArcMap 8.x and 9.x Import Tool |
|
| Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) is a computer program that uses information you provide it, along with physical property data from its extensive chemical library, to predict how a hazardous gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release. The ArcMap tool can be used to enable the import of ALOHA footprint files into ArcMap 8.x or 9.x. |

Electronic Navigation Chart (ENC®) Data Handler for ArcView
|
|
|
The NOAA Coastal Services Center, in partnership with the NOAA Office of Coast Survey, developed an ArcView® extension called the NOAA ENC Data Handler that allows the Office of Coast Survey’s Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) suite to be used in the ESRI® ArcView 3.x software environment.

NOAA Office of Coast Survey
| Electronic Navigation Chart (ENC®) Data |
|
|
Vector-based digital file containing marine features suitable for marine navigation. NOAA ENC®s can be used in geographic information systems (GIS) as base map data.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency FIELDS Program
| Field Environmental Decision Support Tools (FIELDS) |
| The FIELDS Team has developed a set of tools that integrate the power of geographic information systems (GIS), imaging software, global positioning system (GPS), and in-field sampling and analysis technology. The FIELDS tools are a collection of ArcView extensions and a stand-alone 2D/3D software (F/S Plus) that utilize published methodology for each step in the characterization process. The FIELDS software forms the foundation for a system that provides data analysis and interpretation for environmental decision-making. The results allow project managers to evaluate the extent of contamination and hot spot sizes, estimate health risks, prioritize site goals, and weigh potential actions. Users include USEPA Regions, NOAA’s coastal restoration scientists, State and Tribal agencies, as well as the private and academic community. |
|
|
| FIELDS Sample Design Tool |
|
| The Sample Design extension is part of the USEPA FIELDS tools. This tool allows you to create and implement several types of sampling plans, including Judgmental, Random, Systematic, and Linear. |
|
| FIELDS Dupe Checker |
|
| The Duplicate Processing extension is part of the USEPA FIELDS tools. This extension provides the user with several ways to process co-located (duplicate) data prior to running analyses. The options are to highlight duplicate data in the ArcView table or to create a derivative point shapefile containing original data and the calculated mean, minimum, maximum, median or most recent by date for the co-located samples. |

| Image Toggler for ArcView 3.x |
|
| The Image Toggler extension allows the user to click or drag a rectangle in the View window to turn images off and on (rather than search down the Table of Contents for filenames). This extension creates a polygon theme representing the extents of all the selected images.Thereafter, when this polygon theme is active, a Tool on the Tool bar allows the user to conveniently sweep across the view and turn offimages that are on, and turn on images that are off. Use this tool like the select tool, except that it toggles the images off and on. Author: John Foster jsfoster_dev@yahoo.com |
