# Convert an Argo multi-prof netcdf into zarr

# 1st we get the url toward the netcdf file:
uri = argopy.DataFetcher(src='gdac').float(6902914).uri[0]

# Then we load data in memory as a xarray dataset:
ds = httpstore().open_dataset(uri, xr_opts={'engine': 'argo'})

# And we convert to a zarr file:
ds.to_zarr('6902914_prof.zarr')

# Open the zarr file
xr.open_dataset('6902914_prof.zarr', engine='zarr')
