This chart shows relative SST from NOAA's daily OISST dataset, here plotted through 4 May 2026.06 May 2026 16:23 +0000at://did:plc:tehzqnmpivodcl4c7xdekwu3/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml74eqm6tc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/drkimwood.bsky.social/post/3ml6xisjqws2fI'm slowly losing what's left of my mind because I'll load a remote OISST netCDF file via THREDDS and get arrays filled with zeros.

But once I use load() on the xarray Dataset (to subsequently save data of interest), the resulting array is zeroed out. 🤷06 May 2026 14:56 +0000at://did:plc:tehzqnmpivodcl4c7xdekwu3/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6xisjqws2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/drkimwood.bsky.social/post/3mkvuxowsjk2nWe have an outdoor potted plant that I water periodically because it's under partial cover. I never think anything of it. Well, today, I found out that it's a good spot for a quail to chill mid afternoon.
