Query Data Without Large File Downloads

ZARR based datasets help us improve your ability to request only the data you need. Datasets with the file type called ‘ZARR’ support this feature. If you only need a couple megabytes worth of data from one specific area for a specific time period, you can request just that instead of downloading gigabytes worth of data to access only that small portion of data.

This is done by either inputting the longitudes and latitudes manually or by selecting an area on the map when you are ready to download the data. This also means you don’t need to filter out the database since you only requested the specific area you wanted and improves your ability to quickly work on the data requested.
