Iris¶
A powerful, format-agnostic, community-driven Python package for analysing and visualising Earth science data.
Iris implements a data model based on the CF conventions giving you a powerful, format-agnostic interface for working with your data. It excels when working with multi-dimensional Earth Science data, where tabular representations become unwieldy and inefficient.

css issue with the figures links? Not enough spacing under the “Figure X” imho - highligted in red using css but cannot work out how to adjust the spacing. Could remove the numbering but would then need to remove all the numfig references too.
