Command line

Install chronozarr, then run chronozarr COMMAND --help for all options.

Command	Purpose
`encode INPUT OUT`	Write a store from a Zarr store, NetCDF file, or dated GeoTIFF glob.
`convert SOURCE OUT`	Stream a manifest, Zarr variable, or NetCDF file into a store.
`append STORE INPUT`	Add later timesteps to an existing store.
`validate STORE`	Check layout conformance; failures exit with status 1.
`info STORE`	Show times, bands, encoding, and levels.
`doctor TARGET`	Check a local path or live URL, HTTP behavior, and decoding.
`export-cog STORE OUT_DIR`	Export reconstructed true-value COGs. Needs the geo extra.
`stac STORE --out DIR`	Write a static STAC Collection and Item. Needs the geo extra.

Common workflow

chronozarr convert manifest.csv my_store
chronozarr validate my_store
chronozarr info my_store
# After uploading:
chronozarr doctor https://your-host/my_store

Encoding and storage

--encoding auto|none|star-delta controls temporal encoding. The default is auto. --shard opts into sharding; --shard-time requires it. The default is unsharded. Use the append guide to choose a layout for growing stores.

Interoperability

chronozarr export-cog my_store cogs/
chronozarr stac my_store --out catalog/

COG export reconstructs star-delta values. Static STAC metadata points clients to the store; it does not serve rendered tiles.
