Basically each file contains a 1x1 degree area and a year worth of satellite data. The only problem that I can see with this approach is that the time dimension is different between files (the satellite covers different areas at different times). This might be problem when aggregating a big area because if the time dimension has to be homogenised it will be filled with basically no data over the whole area (sparse arrays). Depending how this sparsity is implemented it can fill memory pretty quickly. 

Some of these files can be found at:
http://dapds00.nci.org.au/thredds/catalog/uc0/rs0_dev/gdf_trial/20150709/LS5TM/catalog.html

A sample of `open_dataset` for a file is:

```
import xray
dap_file = 'http://dapds00.nci.org.au/thredds/dodsC/uc0/rs0_dev/gdf_trial/20150709/LS5TM/LS5TM_1987_-34_147.nc'
ds = xray.open_dataset(dap_file, decode_coords=False)
print(ds)
