Tiles: Map Tiles API
The Tiles API is a standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
OGC API - Tiles specifies a standard for Web APIs that provide tiles of geospatial information.
References
These are links to the OGC standards and websites:
This implementation provides an implementation of the OGC API - Tiles Core conformance class, allowing users to access map tiles given a dataset and projection.
Activating Tiles for Arraylake Datasets
The Tiles API can be activated using the Arraylake command line interface (CLI)
al compute enable {org} tiles
note
Arraylake currently supports enabling Tiles on an organization-wide basis. This is subject to change in future releases.
The Tiles service works best when datasets are compliant with CF Conventions, particularly around coordinates.
Specifically it looks for the CRS in a grid_mapping variable (or falls back to a variable named spatial_ref or crs if a grid mapping variable is not detected).
If neither of these are present, we assume the CRS to be EPSG:4326.
If a project CRS is detected, we search for projected X and Y coordinates (those with the standard_name attribute set as projection_x_coordinate and projection_y_coordinate).
If a geographic CRS is detected, we search for search for latitude and longitude coordinate variables (those with standard_name attribute set as latitude or longitude or units attribute with degrees_north and degrees_east).
If these attributes are present, we attempt to make a best guess using the names of the coordinate variables present.
We strongly recommend you annotate your dataset explicitly by adding a grid mapping variable, and the associate coordinate variables with the right standard_name and units attributes.
Building Queries
The root url for accessing the Tiles endpoint is
https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/{org}/{repo}/{branch|commit|tag}/{path/to/group}/tiles
Where
{org}is the name of your Arraylake organization{repo}is the name of the Repo{branch|commit|tag}is the branch, commit, or tag within the Repo to use to fulfill the request{path/to/group}is the path to group within the Repo that contains anxarrayDataset
We will refer to this as the {base_url}.
Tileset Metadata Query
Metadata about the available tilesets can be retrieved using the following query:
{base_url}/
The response will contain metadata about the available tilesets for this dataset, including all available tile matrices, styles, variables, and dimensions. Here is an example query and response for the aifs-outputs dataset:
curl https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/earthmover-public/aifs-outputs/main/2025-03-30/06z/tiles/

Tile Matrix Metadata Query
Metadata about the available tile matrices can be retrieved using the following query:
{base_url}/{tile_matrix}/
The response will contain metadata about the available tile matrices for this tileset. Here is an example query and response for the GFS dataset and the WebMercatorQuad tile matrix:
curl https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/earthmover-public/gfs/main/solar/tiles/WebMercatorQuad/

Tile Query
This is the core functionality of the service, accessing specific map tiles for a given dataset and projection. Use the following schema:
{base_url}/{tile_matrix}/{z}/{y}/{x}?variables={variable1}&colorscalerange={min},{max}&style={style}&width={width}&height={height}&f=image/png&some_dimension=some_value
The parameters are as follows:
{tile_matrix}is the name of the tile matrix to use, usually this will beWebMercatorQuadfor web map usage.{z}is the zoom level of the tile{y}is the y coordinate of the tile{x}is the x coordinate of the tilevariablesis the name of the variable to visualize. Forrasterstyle this must be a single variable name and is required.styleis the name of the style to use for the tile. Styles are defined as{style_name}/{style_variant}. For example, when using therasterstyle, variants are matplotlib colormaps. So we can specify theturbocolormap asraster/turbo.colorscalerangeis the comma separated minimum and maximum value of the color scale. This is required ifvalid_minandvalid_maxare not available as attributes of the queried variable, otherwise it is optional.widthis the width of the tile in pixels, this must be a multiple of 256. This is required.heightis the height of the tile in pixels, this must be a multiple of 256. This is required.fis the format of the tile. This defaults toimage/pngif not specified.
Many datasets will have other dimensions such as time, level or band that must be subset to visualize a spatial slice of data. When this is the case, if a dimension is not specified, then the first value of the dimension will be used by default. To specify the dimension value to query, use the some_dimension=some_value syntax. For example, to query a dataset with a time dimension add time=2022-01-01T00:00:00 as a query parameter.
Here is an example tile query for the gust variable from the GFS dataset:
curl https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/earthmover-public/gfs/main/solar/tiles/WebMercatorQuad/1/1/1?variables=gust&colorscalerange=0,40&width=512&height=512
tilejson Query
TileJSON is an open standard for representing map metadata.
To make integration with other tools easier, a tilejson query can be used to retrieve the information about a tileset needed to integrate with web mapping tools such as Mapbox. Use the following schema to generate a tilejson query:
{base_url}/{tile_matrix}/tilejson.json?variables={variable1}&colorscalerange={min},{max}&style={style}&width={width}&height={height}&some_dimension=some_value
The tilejson query is similar to the tile query but returns a JSON object instead of an image. See the Tile Query for the available query parameters, which can be used in the tilejson query.
Here is an example tilejson query for the gust variable from the GFS dataset:
curl https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/earthmover-public/gfs/main/solar/tiles/WebMercatorQuad/tilejson.json?variables=gust&colorscalerange=0,40&width=512&height=512

Integrating with Tools
MapboxGL
You can visualize raster tiles in MapboxGL using by adding a raster source and layer and the tilejson endpoint.

QGIS
QGIS can be used to visualize raser tiles using an XYZ layer.
- Add a new "XYZ Connection" to the QGIS project.
- In the URL box, use the following URL:
https://compute.earthmover.io/v1/services/tiles/earthmover-public/gfs/main/solar/tiles/WebMercatorQuad/{z}/{y}/{x}?variables=gust&colorscalerange=0,40&width=512&height=512 - The XYZ layer can now be added to the project.
