Issue Visualizing Daymet Zarr File with Projected and Chunked Dimensions #67

Description

Hi,

I’m trying to visualize a Daymet Zarr file using titiler-xarray, but I’m encountering issues related to chunked dimensions and projected coordinates. Below is a description of the two datasets I’ve been working with and the specific error I’m encountering.

Dataset 1: NOAA CoastWatch Geo-Polar SST (Successfully Visualized)

I was able to visualize the Zarr dataset from the following URL:

zarr: https://ncsa.osn.xsede.org/Pangeo/pangeo-forge/noaa-coastwatch-geopolar-sst-feedstock/noaa-coastwatch-geopolar-sst.zarr

Metadata:

<xarray.Dataset> Size: 3TB
Dimensions:           (time: 7134, lat: 3600, lon: 7200)
Coordinates:
  * lat               (lat) float32 -89.97 -89.93 -89.88 ... 89.93 89.97
  * lon               (lon) float32 -180.0 -179.9 -179.9 ... 179.9 180.0
  * time              (time) datetime64[ns] 2002-09-01T12:00:00 ... 2022...
Data variables:
    analysed_sst      (time, lat, lon) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(2, 1800, 7200)>
    analysis_error    (time, lat, lon) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(2, 1800, 7200)>
    mask              (time, lat, lon) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(2, 1800, 7200)>
    sea_ice_fraction  (time, lat, lon) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(2, 1800, 7200)>

Dataset 2: Daymet Zarr (Issue Encountered)

When trying to visualize the Daymet Zarr dataset from the following URL:

zarr: https://daymeteuwest.blob.core.windows.net/daymet-zarr/daily/hi.zarr

Metadata:

<xarray.Dataset> Size: 69GB
Dimensions:                  (time: 14965, y: 584, x: 284, nv: 2)
Coordinates:
    lat                      (y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(584, 284)>
    lon                      (y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(584, 284)>
  * time                     (time) datetime64[ns] 1980-01-01T12:00:00 ...
  * x                        (x) float32 -5.802e+06 ... -5.519e+06
  * y                        (y) float32 -3.9e+04 -4e+04 ... -6.22e+05
Dimensions without coordinates: nv
Data variables:
    dayl                     (time, y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(365, 584, 284)>
    prcp                     (time, y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(365, 584, 284)>
    tmax                     (time, y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(365, 584, 284)>
    tmin                     (time, y, x) float32 dask.array<chunksize=(365, 584, 284)>

Issue:
I received the following error when trying to visualize the Daymet dataset:

ValueError: conflicting sizes for dimension 'y': length 256 on the data but length 105 on coordinate 'lat'

I noticed that the Daymet Zarr dimensions are chunked, and the lat/lon coordinates are projected to x, y dimensions. I suspect this is the reason why titiler-xarray is unable to visualize the dataset. I’ve also encountered similar issues while attempting to visualize other NetCDF files.

Question:

Does titiler-xarray currently support visualizing datasets with chunked and projected dimensions like the Daymet dataset? If not, I would be happy to contribute to implementing this feature. Could you please provide some guidance or suggestions on how I can modify titiler-xarray or my data to work around this issue?
