Session
Xarray provides data structures for multi-dimensional labeled arrays and a toolkit for scalable data analysis on large, complex datasets. Many real-world datasets fit this structure. However, a common roadblock for users is knowing how to load the data in Xarray and then how to best use Xarray’s tools to represent the structure of the data. In this hands-on tutorial we will showcase how to work with Xarray, various ways to get real-world data into Xarray (with examples from geosciences and biology) and finally how to easily make complex selections on data using community developed custom indexes.
