The ERA-5 represents the current state-of-the-art meteorological reanalysis, extending from well back into the 20th century to the present. While the data is freely-available for download by archival centers such as [Copernicus](https://www.copernicus.eu/en) and [RDA](https://rda.ucar.edu/), the data format and directory structure are typically not well-suited for interactive exploration. Specifically, parameters of interest are stored in individual files, for a limited period of time.

A team at Google Cloud and Research has made interactive exploration much more tenable by representing the data in [Zarr](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) format. Each Zarr file represents a specific "class" of meteorological data, such as:

This notebook reads in annual average 2-m temperature from RDA's Zarr store and visualizes the data using `hvPlot`. The notebook also demonstrates how to create a simple interactive plot that allows the user to select a specific year and visualize the 2-m and how to create animations.
