Ad-hoc

After installation, the functions intake.open_netcdf and intake.open_zarr will become available. They can be used to open xarray datasets.

Creating Catalog Entries

To include in a catalog, the plugin must be listed in the plugins of the catalog:

plugins:
  source:
    - module: intake_xarray

and entries must specify driver: netcdf or driver: zarr.

The zarr-based plugin allows access to remote data stores (s3 and gcs), settings relevant to those should be passed in using the parameter storage_options.
