@jiskattema has shared an interesting tool: Iris - "A powerful, format-agnostic, community-driven Python library for analysing and visualising Earth science data".
Latest documentation: https://scitools.org.uk/iris/docs/latest/
gitHub: https://github.com/SciTools/iris
Hello, we use Iris in MAGIC. It is a core component of ESMValTool. It in turn depends on dask (https://dask.org/), which also powers xarray (http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/)
Iris and xarray are also part of the pangeo community (https://pangeo.io/)
In Astronomy we have already used DataCubes to store and query multi-dimensional data. In Earth observation is becoming hot the discussion despite the concept is been there for a while. It got hot because of OpenDataCube.
I was at BiDS'19 and Living Planet Symposium and I heard a lot about OpenDataCube (https://www.opendatacube.org/). At Living Planet Symposium I had the chance to talk with one of the major engineers.
I would like to know if any of you have used it or knows about it? What about Rasdman? Have we used at NLeSC? Does anyone have experience with it. I am asking because I know well Peter Bauman, but I am not so fan of the non-open source approach of Rasdman.
