Research direction

Start by reviewing existing posts in src/posts and the linked Xarray issue. Draft a short, non-technical climate-model analysis user story using the proposed outline, with front matter and any useful images or code blocks. It is done when the post is Markdown-ready for publication on the Xarray blog.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

user-story

This is a proposal for a climate model analysis use case story for Xarray. The story will be published on Xarray's blog (https://xarray.dev/blog).

Why?

Xarray is used extensively across the climate modeling community. One or more user stories that highlight how Xarray is used for climate model analysis would help show Xarray's impact in this area. Ideally we show how Xarray is used with climate data in operations and for basic research, as well as how it is used in the cloud and on HPCs.

What?

We are targeting a short and non-technical post that illustrates how Xarray is used in the climate context. Below is a template outline that you should feel free to modify:

  1. Who am I?
  2. What problem am I trying to solve?
  3. How does Xarray help?
  4. Why did I choose Xarray?
  5. Current pain points (or ways that Xarray could better serve your use case)
  6. Technology I use around Xarray
  7. Anything else to know?
  8. Links and references

Feel free to insert images or short code blocks if they help you tell your story.

How?

Xarray's blog using Markdown with some front-matter. You can copy one of the existing posts to get started or you can write in a google-doc-like-thing and ask us to do the markdown formatting. If you copy a previous post, use a name like user-story-pangeo-ocean-model or whatever makes sense for your application.
