I added to "band_data" a '_CRS' attribute as dict with 'url', 'wkt' & 'projjson' infos (EPSG 3857), saved the whole thing as :zarr: file and hoped :gdal: can open it in :qgis:

However :gdal: seems to have trouble finding the coordinate reference and assumes the origin is 0,0 (Extent 0.0, -8192.0 : 4096.0, 0.0).

Now, my question: where do I store the "_CRS" dict correctly? Do I also need to add a GeoTransform infos? If yes, where?

Sorry, that I misuse this platform for my silly question:

I have a :xarray: dataset
Dimensions: (time: 1, band: 4, y: 8192, x: 4096)
Coordinates:
* time datetime64[ns] 8B 2023-06-15
* band <U5 80B 'Red' 'Green' 'Blue' 'Alpha'
* y float32 33kB 7.064e+06 7.064e+06
* x float32 16kB 1.194e+06 1.194e+06
Data variables:
band_data (time, band, y, x) uint8 134MB dask.array<chunksize=(1, 4, 1024, 1024), meta=np.ndarray>
spatial_ref int64 8B ...

Have you ever thought to yourself: "It sure would be nice to see the geometry for baseball fields of Nebraska" or "raceways of Germany"... wow, me too! That's fun.

X-of-Y may be the perfect thing. You give it an overpass query and it does it's best to show you everything neatly side by side.

Here's every jetsprint boat lake in the world (on OSM!).

A grid of cards containing unusually shaped "lakes". Each drawn in a light blue. They have the appearance of very squiggly pasta. Each card has a link to OSM as well as some of the tags (ex:name)

Whilst everyone is sharing their #SpotifyWrapped, the band Los Campesinos! shared how much they made from streaming services for their album All Hell:

Now this. This is #solarpunk.

A true community-owned gardening project. So many stadiums and sports institutes are just left to rot once they're no longer profitable, instead of being reused for the greater good. Remember, repurposing is always easier than recycling.

@jeremy useful to add #zarr #xarray emojis? 🙏 😀

There are many good examples of how to use the .zarr file format, but only a few examples of how to create a solid zarr (version 3) file from a bunch of .tif files. Who knows a good pipeline for #zarr creation? #cloud-native-geospatial #CNG
