It's important that this package be tested. Each different kernel (see #1) will need a test. Our options are to

Use real model data. In this case we will need a place to put the model data for us to use in our tests. Ideally the data will be as small as possible.
Use synthetic data. In this case we need to figure out how to make up data that looks like the real data using python code.

One option would be to use existing Pangeo cloud data. We have both POP highres

And MOM CM2.6

These could be read on demand from the tests.

The only catch is that they are in requester pays buckets. Maybe we could just turn that off?
