For larger raster datasets and non-geographical array data, NetCDF is another good choice with wide support.
I wrote & parse this sentence with an and, so it covers both "larger raster datasets" which are geographical as implied by the rest of the paragraph and non-geographical raster data.
Yeah, I misinterpreted. :+1:
The current section mentions using NetCDF exclusively for non-geographical array data, but wanted to mention that the base spec (and particularly, with the CF conventions), NetCDF supports a handful of the most common projections and should be considered fair game for interchange of geographic data -- it's widely used in the oceanographic and climatic worlds without issue for interchanging multidimensional sets of geographically referenced data.
