Public Virtual Zarr of the NASA (NEX-GDDP-CMIP6) Dataset

In a recent project, I needed some downscaled CMIP6 data. I created a Virtual Zarr store of the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 dataset. I wanted to share it if anyone has use of this dataset and doesn’t want to go through the work of re-virtualizing it.

With VirtualiZarr, we can take 38TB of NetCDF files and make a virtual Icechunk datatree that is under a GB (740MB).

Hi, not sure if this is of any interest to you, but we also zarrified a bunch of CMIP6 datasets. As opposed to using VirtualiZarr , these are native Zarrs (we did it the hard way). You can find them at CMIP6 - Earth Data Hub

We are considering to do more.

Hey @Nicola_Masotti, super cool to see people making CMIP easier to use!

Any reason why you preferred native Zarr?
