Goal

Make data access for climate data easy:

• cacheable data
• documentation attached in metadata
• shareable catalogs
• quick vizualisations

Contribute and extend

• PRs for new remote climate datasets or useful geoshapes are very welcome

Relies on

• intake for catalogs and csv and zarr
• fsspec for caching
• intake_xarray for:
  • nc using netcdf4 [example]
  • tif using rioxarray [example]
  • grib using cfgrib [example missing]
• intake_thredds for using intake_xarray via THREDDS [example]
• intake_excel for Excel xls and xlsx [example]
• intake_geopandas for shapefiles shp [example], GeoJSON geo.json [example], GeoParquet parquet, PostGIS databases, Spatialite databases
• regionmask for aggregating over geoshapes
• hvplot for plotting [example]
