xarray is an open source project and Python package that aims to
bring the labeled data power of pandas to the physical sciences, by
providing N-dimensional variants of the core pandas data structures.
The goal is to provide a pandas-like and pandas-compatible toolkit for
analytics on multi-dimensional arrays, rather than the tabular data
for which pandas excels. Our approach adopts the Common Data Model
for self- describing scientific data in widespread use in the Earth
sciences: xarray.Dataset is an in-memory representation of a netCDF
file.
