Description
Need a second opinion ...
Many (i.e. around 3-4+) small packages for dealing with reanalysis datasets (one for each major dataset), like, one for ERA5, one for NCEP, one for MERRA, one for ERA-Interim, etc., or
1 large package allowing one to download/process all the datasets together? Going to be tricky because NCEP's data is arranged quite differently (esp. pressure levels) compared to ECMWF reanalysis datasets.
Same would go for different satellite datasets. Thinking about one for GPM, one for TRMM, and then going for the MODIS, and other different satellites.

Research direction
This issue is an unresolved architectural discussion about organizing packages for reanalysis and satellite datasets. No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned; first review the existing JuliaClimate implementations and the discussion comments, then identify whether a decided package structure and concrete implementation scope emerge.
