CliMetLab, a Python package from ECMWF, now incorporates the WEkEO Plugin for simplified access to an extended range of Copernicus service datasets. This integration streamlines the process by automatically configuring the WEkEO HDA, eliminating the need for manual monitoring of jobs and downloads.

CliMetLab enhances data management by storing and managing datasets in a cache, supporting various data formats, and enabling direct conversion to xarray datasets. With just two lines of code, users can effortlessly access and transform WEkEO datasets.
