+xarray is an open source project and Python package that aims to bring the
+labeled data power of pandas to the physical sciences, by providing
+N-dimensional variants of the core pandas data structures.
+
+The goal is to provide a pandas-like and pandas-compatible toolkit for
+analytics on multi-dimensional arrays, rather than the tabular data for which
+pandas excels. Our approach adopts the Common Data Model for self- describing
+scientific data in widespread use in the Earth sciences: xarray.Dataset is an
+in-memory representation of a netCDF file.
