yt_xarray updates at the 2024 Software for the NASA SMD Workshop

I recently had the pleasure of presenting updates to yt_xarray at the 2024 Software for the NASA SMD Workshop. Read on to check out the full presentation.

yt-xarray, Facilitating Software Reuse Between Space and Earth Sciences

My presentation covered our recent efforts with yt_xarray to link yt and xarray. At it’s most basic, yt_xarray is a glue-package that facilitates data transfer between the two packages. But it’s got some bells and whistles attached to streamline that data communication and to simplify some of the yt usage for geospatial volumetric data.

You can check out the full presentation (which I wrote as a Jupyter book) in a number of ways:

This presentation included examples with the new embedded transformations framework, which has since been released in yt_xarray v0.3.0 just last week (v0.3.0 release notes).
