Research memory efficient ragged array netCDF file generation #367

Open kevinsantana11 opened 5 months ago

kevinsantana11 commented 5 months ago

When aggregating the gdp1h trajectories into one file the RAM memory utilized during this process requires a machine with greater capacity than 16GB of RAM.

Research needs to be done in regards to understanding whether there's memory efficient method of generating the aggregated trajectories.
