Xarray Tutorial#

The NCAR/UCAR virtual Python Tutorial Seminar Series continues with a 2-part introduction to the Python package xarray on Wednesday, June 9th and June 23rd at 1 PM Mountain Daylight Time. These sessions will be led by Anderson Banihirwe.

The content for this tutorial is hosted on Anderson’s Xarray Tutorial Github Repository. However, since final edits are being made to these notebooks we ask that you please wait until after 1 PM MDT on June 8 to download the materials (the Tuesday before the first session). This will ensure that you have the latest version of the notebooks.
