Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides invaluable image data for Earth Observation. The Interferometric SAR (InSAR) technique, which leverages a stack of SAR images in Single Look Complex (SLC) format, plays a significant role for various surface motion monitoring applications, e.g. civil-infrastructure stability [@chang2014detection; @chang2017railway], hydrocarbons extraction [@fokker2016application; @ZHANG2022102847], etc. To enable advanced data processing for the InSAR community, we present`SARXarray`, an Xarray extension for handling SLC SAR stacks for InSAR data processing.

Satellite-based SAR generates data stacks with long temporal coverage, broad spatial coverage and high spatio-temporal resolution. [@moreira2013tutorial] Handling it in an efficient way is a common challenge within the InSAR community. The High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures provide an opportunity to process these data stacks in a parallel and distributed manner. However, to fully utilize the HPC infrastructures, the data processing workflows often need to be customized case by case.

`SARXarray`is developed based on two established Python libraries `Xarray` and `Dask` from the [Pangeo community](https://www.pangeo.io/). Implemented as an Xarray extension, it utilizes Xarray’s support on labeled multi-dimensional datasets to stress the space-time character of an SLC SAR stack. It also leverages `Dask` to perform lazy evaluation of the operations and block-wise computation. It can be integrated to existing Python workflows of InSAR processing and deployed on various computational infrastructures.
