I recently had the pleasure of presenting updates to yt_xarray at the 2024 Software for the NASA SMD Workshop.

The most recent feature release of the VBRc (version 1.1) included some changes that simplify the specification of the unrelaxed moduli used within the VBRc.

I recently fielded a question on the yt slack about adding streamlines to a volume rendering in yt and decided it was worth documenting the solution a bit more!

Need to go from epsg:4326 to web mercator and you’re a bit of a GIS n00b like me?

yt has a number of ways to load in generic array data as yt datasets and occasionally I’ve found myself wanting to load in 2D arrays for various reasons.
