  Description     : rasterio xarray extension

rioxarray is an extension to the xarray package that 
 - supports multidimensional datasets such as netCDF
 - stores the CRS as a WKT, which is the recommended format 
 - loads in the CRS, transform, and nodata metadata in standard CF & GDAL 
   locations
 - supports masking and scaling data with the masked and mask_and_scale kwargs
 - adds the coordinate axis CF metadata
 - loads in raster metadata into the attributes

This package is a dependency of geocube. I am happy to maintain it but
will need a sponsor.
