Hi Team,

I am working with several environmental layers downloaded through MGET, and I need to interpolate some of the layers due to excessive cloud cover, and close proximity to the coast. I am using sea surface temp, current direction and magnitude as well as sea surface height anomaly.

I am currently using Arc 10.6.1, and have just recently set up a machine with 10.4.1, and when I run the interpolation, like I have done many times using arc 10.4, it either fills in all the missing data as the lowest possible values, or doesn’t fill anything in. It is not giving me any errors to help me diagnose the issue, it is coming up with the little tick telling me it has successfully completed the job. I set up the second machine with 10.4.1 on it to check whether it was just machine 1 or the different version of Arc but I am still getting nothing out of both machines.

I have done a bit of research online to try and help and it doesn’t seem like anyone else is having the same issue.

I am mainly wondering if there is something I’m missing about modifying the layers prior to interpolation or anything of the sort. The layers are rasters obtained through MGET and imported to a map file and I am trying to interpolate from there. I can send through a map file if that would be helpful.

Any help would be amazing, as I can’t see why this has only just started to happen now. It is pivotal that I can interpolate the layers as most of the data I am using is close to the coast of Australia and that seems to have the most missing information.

Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
