The PIKART catalog can be easily accessed using Python scripts
via the THREDDS data server:
https://ar.pik-potsdam.de/thredds/
Both the Lagrangian and the Eulerian version of the catalog are provided in NetCDF format, which is a widely used format for storing multi-dimensional scientific data. Both versions are also available based MERRA2 data. You can access the catalog remotely or download it via the THREDDS data server, allowing flexible clipping to a spatial region or extracting individual years.
Example scripts on how to get started can be found at the examples section.
