In this module, learners will review the multidimensional nature of Earth Systems Science data, explore the hierarchical nature of multidimensional data structures, and search for critical metadata within these structures. 


Audience: 

  • This module is recommended for new users of netCDF data. 


By the end of this module, learners will be able to:

  • Describe the benefits for storing Earth Systems Science data in a multidimensional data structure

  • Define each component of the netCDF data model (global attributes, dimensions, coordinates, variables, variable attributes)

  • Locate critical information in a multidimensional dataset using an xarray HTML preview

Duration: 
  • 5-10 minutes
