Tutorial: Zarr

Ryan Abernathey, Columbia University & Sanket Verma, Zarr Community Manager This tutorial will give a live hands-on introduction to working with Zarr in the cloud using Python. Participants will be encouraged to follow along in binder notebook. We will introduce the core objects in the zarr-python library--storage, arrays, and groups--and explain how to create and manipulate Zarr data directly. We will see how zarr-python leverages fsspec to provide interoperability with all major cloud object storage protocols. We will then shift gears to accessing Zarr via Xarray and explore some real-world use cases using public data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) stored in S3.
