What would that look like for a data scientist to have it in Analysis Ready Cloud Optimized form? Anyone with experience with that dataset and expertise in Zarr format? This would be great. I am exploring a distributed version of this but would love to start with some good Zarr examples.  
I am opening the Netcdf files and reassigning the ds to ds.metpy.assign\_latitude\_longitude(). It just seems odd to get 2D arrays for lat/lon.  
I would be very interested in an example of a true color product from three Zarr files 🙂 or equivalent.  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Many thanks,  
Pat.
