> I think this could go either way. The xarray backend will use this lower-level code which, with proper organization, should also be able to be used by the user...

Thanks, this is looking pretty good. For CRS, I think it might be better for general purpose to just put the CF metadata directly in the xarray view, then we...

@winash12 Interoperability with Dask is one of the major technical areas we are focusing on at the moment.

@winash12 I really need to update our roadmap with this stuff (#1655) but the plan is to only update particular places in the code that are bottlenecks to doing calculations...

I'd be happy for someone to contribute either/both of those methods. Someone would definitely need to do a literature review to understand what SharpPy is doing.

The code in SharpPy looks buggy. The code in NSHARP looks straightforward: loop over the profile and compute the max difference between the environment and the parcel temp. A citation...

Well, I started to write something up, but then I looked again and see that `LambertCylindrical` has a hard-coded `Globe`. That’s no good. Looks like a problem similar to #709....

Would be happy to merge a PR that improves the documentation as you suggest above.

@akrherz This should work fine if you replace `StringIO` with `BytesIO`. I'm not sure how we can detect whether the `decode()` call is needed without some ugly type-checking for what...

As we've discussed previously, the first step is to get a build of the RC up on the [conda-forge feedstock](https://github.com/conda-forge/libnetcdf-feedstock). When I attempted this previously, I ran into numerous build...
