Can we make this more general? I would like to add the NEXRAD one here too, as well as other readers from Py-ART

[kmuehlbauer]

@mgrover1 Sure, please add to the first post.

@mgrover1 Were you planning on implementing the NEXRAD level 2 importer from Py-ART in the near future? I am hoping to adopt the xradar data model in a downstream package (OpenMosaic), but would be blocked for now by not having that particular reader. If you wouldn't otherwise already be working on it, I could work towards putting together a PR.

@jthielen - if you are interested, go for it! My next task is the georeferencing, so if you could tackle the level2 reader first, that would be fantastic (and very much welcome :) ). Feel free to use the existing functions/such in Py-ART.

@jthielen If there is need, just ping me for any details regarding xarray backends.

@kmuehlbauer do you think it would help to have these importers/readers as separate issues?

[kmuehlbauer]

Yes, maybe it is more visible then.
