Single variable time series generation
This is a separate effort from Brian Dobbins and CISL that will likely also include data compression.
The ADF version of this works fine for the sea ice history files. Just uses ncrcat. Very quick for less than 50 years of monthly-mean data. We should probably make an xarray version that is more flexible. We would like a few features:
- chunking. That is for 100 years of data we could break the timeseries up into 10 year files for example.
- compression. The default netcdf4 lossless compression would be a good start here.
I have attached my customized YAML file to get this working with the sea ice history files.
A temporary solution will be implemented with #78. We'd still like to address the features mentioned in Dave's earlier comment.
We are intentionally leaving this issue open even though #78 has been merged because we are waiting for a more permanent solution that addresses the points raised in https://github.com/NCAR/CUPiD/issues/18#issuecomment-1865036595
