Noah Day refactored the Sea Ice Coordinates workflow in the COSIMA/cosima-recipes repository to improve model interoperability and reduce dependency fragility. By removing reliance on CFxarray and standardizing data handling with native xarray operations, Noah enabled broader compatibility for downstream analysis. The updated Sea Ice Coordinates notebook now leverages Python and Dask for efficient data loading and visualization, aligning with common scientific computing practices. This work resulted in a more maintainable and portable codebase, supporting model-agnostic analysis and simplifying integration with diverse datasets. The depth of the refactor addressed both technical debt and future-proofing for evolving data analysis needs.

October 2025: Focused on removing dependency fragility and increasing model interoperability for COSIMA/cosima-recipes. Delivered a refactor to standardize Sea Ice Coordinates by removing CFxarray dependency, enabling broader compatibility and model-agnostic analysis. Updated the Sea Ice Coordinates notebook to rely on standard xarray operations, and refined data loading and coordinate handling to align with common data analysis practices.
