ODD PI 26.1 Objective 3: 🤖 Support virtualization of additional data products

[abarciauskas-bgse]

Motivation

Virtualization allows performant visualization and analysis of archival data products hosted on the cloud, without data duplication.

Description

Through further research and development, we will build a robust ecosystem for self-service dataset virtualization which will ultimately empower more end users and interfaces.

Acceptance Criteria

• Enable adoption of Virtual Zarr through library maintenance, improved documentation, and user support.
• Create template data ingestion pipeline for virtualizing high value, operational NASA datasets.
• Stretch: Implement support for virtualizing arbitrary rectilinear grid structures. Explore virtualization methods for alternate grid structures (i.e., healpix, cubegrid).
