Xarray provides data structures for multi-dimensional labeled arrays and a toolkit for scalable data analysis on large, complex datasets with many related variables. Xarray combines the convenience of labeled data structures inspired by Pandas with NumPy-like multi-dimensional arrays to provide an intuitive and scalable interface for scientific analysis. This hands-on tutorial focuses on intermediate and advanced workflows using complex real-world data. We encourage participants in this workshop to bring your own dataset as we will dedicate ample time to apply tutorial concepts to datasets of interest!
HDF5 can be as performant as modern cloud-native formats. We will demonstrate this using two high-profile NASA missions.
Taking a fun approach to data visualization, we present a little comic strip crafted with little remote sensing stories using data from NASA and the Python plotting ecosystem.
