Working with raster imagery and raster-arrays in Mapbox Tiling Service
summary
Shows how to take HRRR smoke files, upload 49 hourly files as sources, write a JSON recipe and publish a raster-array tileset with Mapbox Tiling Service using the Tileset CLI, outputting MRT (Mapbox Raster Tile) tiles that store 49 bands for a 48‑hour forecast. Uses source rules to pick the massen band, sets resampling (nearest or linear), reads tilejson ranges, colorizes with D3 spectral into 64 steps, sets raster-fade-duration=0, and animates by changing the layer paint band — the demo renders a working smoke animation.
