xarray backends

This section gives an overview on the available xarray backends.

Warning

Since \(\omega radlib\) version 1.18 the xarray backend engines for polar radar data have been renamed and prepended with wradlib- (eg. cfradial1 -> wradlib-cfradial1). This was necessary to avoid clashes with the new xradar-package, which will eventually replace the wradlib engines. Users have to make sure to check which engine to use for their use-case when using xarray.open_dataset.

Since \(\omega radlib\) version 1.19 almost all backend code has been transferred to xradar-package and is imported from there.
