Description
I would like to know if it is possible to read a NetCDF file stored in AWS s3 using the arrow library in R. If yes, could you provide some guidance on how to do it? Could you please also confirm if arrow would download the whole file as a temporary file first, even if I am only interested in a data chunk?
Thank you!

Research direction
Start by checking whether the R Arrow API supports reading NetCDF files from AWS S3, then investigate the documented behavior for accessing only a data chunk versus downloading the whole file. Done means providing a clear, verified answer or identifying the documentation gap and the relevant guidance to add.
