We retrieved this file using this Python code: from ecmwfapi import ECMWFDataServer server = ECMWFDataServer() server.retrieve({ "class" [...]

In today's post, we're going to use xarray multicore capabilities to access a fairly large weather dataset using Python. To illustrate our purpose, we'll look at 15 years of solar radiations provided by the ECMWF.
