Recipes

These recipes show end-to-end conversion workflows for different grid types. Each one follows the same three-step pattern:

1. Open the dataset (with caching).
2. Convert to a HEALPix pyramid.
3. Upload to S3.

Recipe	Grid type	Source example
Structured Grids	Regular / curvilinear lat/lon	ERA5, CMIP6
Unstructured Grids (ICON)	Triangular mesh	ICON-DREAM
Point Data	Swaths, stations, trajectories	EarthCARE MSI, surface networks

For working with the converted data, Averaging masked fields shows how to compute means and area integrals of fields with missing values consistently across pyramid levels.
