179 | 185 | "The data used in our tutorials have been converted from the [Met Office's PP file format](https://help.ceda.ac.uk/article/4424-pp-binary-forma) to Zarr. Zarr is a [specification](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/spec.html) for how to store gridded data in a key-value interface (such as Amazon S3 object store), where each chunk of data is a separate value with a corresponding key indicating its position in the full dataset. This has advantage over NetCDF format as it allows for a highly parallel data access where many CPUs can simultaneously read different parts of the same dataset. Zarr is also a [Python library](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html) implementation of this specification that allows you to read and write data in a Zarr store.\n", |

Iris is a key tool in the [SciTools](https://scitools.org.uk/) project which is a collaborative effort to produce and maintain python-based open-source tooks for Earth scientists. Iris is a useful toolkit as it supports read/write access to a range of data formats, including (CF-)netCDF, GRIB, and PP; fundamental data manipulation operations, such as arithmetic, interpolation, and statistics; and a range of integrated plotting options. See [latest Iris documentation](https://scitools.org.uk/iris/docs/latest/) for more information.\n", |
