How to convert 12 monthly green vegetation fraction data sets into a binary file

Hello!
I now have 12 months of vegetation coverage data in geotiff format. How do you integrate the 12 green vegetation fraction geotiff files into a single file to convert it into a binary file in geog static data? I can convert a single geotiff file into a two-dimensional binary file, but I do n’t know how to make 12 green vegetation fraction files with the month as the third dimension into a three-dimensional data. I look forward to your reply! Thank you very much!
 
Hello,

I have the same question. In the WRF manual in chapter 3, it says that each "sub-array is written contiguously to the binary file." From the index file for 12-month albedo, there is a z-dimension with 12 values. Is there a separate command in GDAL to do this?

Thanks,
Kyle
 
Hello,

I also want to combine the greenfrac binary files for each month into one file. I wonder has anyone figured this out?

Thanks,

Hi,

I also have the same question. I wonder if anyone has managed to convert the 12 months of albedo or LAI to the binary raster format that WPS uses.

Respectfully,
Robson
