Abstract

HDF5 is a flexible scientific data format which is used for many high-value
Earth observation datasets, such as the ICESat-2 standard data products.
However, the HDF5 library and tools were designed for local file systems,
and to date have not performed well in cloud environments. The ICESat-2
program funded the development of an on-demand data service called
SlideRule. SlideRule needed performant access to HDF5 files in S3, and in
response, developed the HDF5 Cloud-Optimized Read-Only Library (h5coro). JP
will present the key features of h5coro that enable performant cloud access
to HDF5 data. Rachel Wegener will present an in progress effort to
integrate h5coro as an xarray backend, and will discuss the need for more
robust data formats for Icesat-2 point cloud data.

If you are available to stick around after the H5 in the Cloud session to
talk about your takeaways from the summer meeting or ideas for the cluster,
please join us in doing so.
