Welcome to the conversions wiki!

I'll be putting things I learned about the various conventions of netCDF files we work with here.

First and foremost, xarray does a lot of cool stuff, but it doesn't know how to parse our 2-variable EPIC times. It works great on files already converted to CF, but xr.open_dataset(epic_file) will fail. For the EPIC files you need to use the netCDF4 package, syntax like nc.dataset(epic_file) works.
