Hi Lauren:
Based on what I at say:
https://ioos.us/comt/projects/tropical_inundation/slosh--mdl--egm3?t=Effect%20of%20wind%20input%20parameterizations%20on%20hurricane%20wave%20estimation%20Hurricane%20Ike%20landfall%20ADCIRC+SWAN%20Sensitivity%20Unstructured%20surge-wave%20models%20Comparison%20of%202-D%20and%203-D%20model%20responses%20Hurricane%20IkeHurricane%20Rita
There are WMS endpoints for the data, and depending on what you are trying to
do that might be a better solution for ArcGIS. Or if you need the data also,
not just the image, you can try installing the Environmental Data Connector
into ArcGIS, which would allow you to access the OPenDAP endpoint. This is
available at:
http://asascience.com/software/downloads/
But in either case, I would second Nathan's warning. These are very large
datasets. I would strongly suggest that you spend some time becoming more
familiar with the datasets, and think about the size of the datasets and what
you really need, otherwise almost any request is likely to crash the program.
One nice thing about using WMS or OPeNDAP, in each request you can request
just the variable you need for just the locations you need. But even then, if
you are not careful, the request can be very large, because it is a very fine
grid.
HTH,
