xarray is a package that borrows heavily from Pandas to organize multidimensional data. Mathematical operations are lightning fast thanks to dimensional and coordinate indexing. Visualization is also easy. xarray is valuable to Earth scientists because it permits opening multiple netCDF files with ease. Interpolation and group operations is also possible.

The xarray syntax can be challenging to newcomers. It can be difficult to wrangle the data into the format needed. Nevertheless, this tool is worth the time investment due to the many features of interest to Earth science.
