+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.
