how it works

Stream the slice you need.
Never download an archive, unless you want one.

Every dataset is a Zarr store on S3. Open it with xarray, GDAL or QGIS, read one time step or one region, and let the chunks you did not ask for stay on the server. The same URL and credentials work with rclone and wget for a full copy.
