Have you tried these examples? - https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/examples/dask_read_write.html - https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/examples/read-locks.html

This is likely the line causing troubles: https://github.com/corteva/rioxarray/blob/570150fbb0d359c5567a08a71adb5efc908164f0/rioxarray/_io.py#L683 I believe this can be fixed by wrapping with this function: https://github.com/corteva/rioxarray/blob/570150fbb0d359c5567a08a71adb5efc908164f0/rioxarray/_io.py#L339-L347 A PR with the fix is welcome.

@lwasser, any issues if I reference [this](https://www.earthdatascience.org/courses/use-data-open-source-python/intro-raster-data-python/fundamentals-raster-data/open-lidar-raster-python-xarray/) in plotting docs?

With GDAL 3.1+: https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/cog.html#raster-cog ```python xds.rio.to_raster("raster.tif", driver="COG") ``` See also: https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/examples/convert_to_raster.html

Did you try `ALIGNED_LEVELS`?

Looks like it is a number between 1-10 and requires setting `TILING_SCHEME` as well.

I think this is what you are referring to: [ref](https://github.com/rasterio/rasterio/issues/2339#issuecomment-974053906) The best way to find out is to give it a try and see what happens.

This is currently not supported, but not against rioxarray adding support for it. The reason it currently does not exist is that it adds a bit of complexity when you...

I think this would be simplified if rasterio added support for multidimensional arrays: https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/netcdf.html#multidimensional-api-support, however support for this hasn't been added yet and it doesn't appear to be on the...
