Using intake together with CDO#

These examples were provided by Florian Ziemen (ziemen@dkrz.de) for use on the Levante Supercomputer of DKRZ. The notebook is based on the icon-datashader notebook, and gives a hint on how to process data from the intake catalog with cdo.

Some of the ideas were contributed by Lukas Kluft, Tobi Kölling, and others. The examples are by no means meant to be perfect. They should just provide some input on how things can be done.

Paths for storing images and a data cache#

Helper functions#

The catalog containing all the data#

Getting the file names#
