Welcome to cerbere documentation!

This is the home of cerbere package. The objective of cerbere is to provide different free and open source python modules for reading, interpreting, and writing earth observation data complying to community standards such as the Climate & Forecast (CF), Unidata’s Common Data Model (CDM) and ACDD metadata conventions, complemented by additional recommendations from GHRSST, NCEI or authors of this package.

It is based on xarray which it extends through the use of accessors for xarray’s Dataset and DataArray classes and additional reader or backend classes for non compliant datasets. It also adds a typology of observation objects (called features) though a set of template classes implementing common features defined in CF or CDM.
