Analysis-ready, cloud-optimized data: writing Zarr for the geosciences (Dec 10, 2023)
Channel: CryoCloud
Date: 09/01/2024

The cloud-optimized data tutorial on CryoCloud introduces how to produce analysis-ready, cloud-optimized data through an example using the Zarr file format. Jonny Kingslake takes us through his journey to transform autonomous phase-sensitive radio-echo sounder (ApRES) field data, teaching about high-dimensional data, chunking, and writing of a zarr file to allow end users to access the data without having to load the entire dataset at one time. The notebook for this tutorial can be found at https://book.cryointhecloud.com/tutorials/ARCOdata_writingZarrs.html.
