I have used xarray resample successfully on a file with ~3 million single ping ADCP ensembles, 17 variables of these with 1D and 2D data.  Three lines of code in a handful of minutes to reduce that.  On a middling  laptop.  Amazing.  

Unintended behaviors from resample that I need to figure out:  
-- a time offset is introduced.  Hourly mean data is offset by 16 hours in one use case.  16 hours is odd.  I may have my time set up wrong.  Or it is a start transient from a filter.  I've been reading code trying to figure out exactly what kind of algorithm pandas is using in resample (as best I can tell this is where xarray is getting its resample method).
-- NaNs are introduced.  I think I need to learn how to set mask_and_scale to prevent this.  
-- when outputting to netCDF the ""time' dimension got added to a variable that didn't and shouldn't have it.

On the menu next to learn/use:
-- Multi-indexing and data reshaping
-- slicing
-- Separating an uneven time base into separate time series 
-- Calculations involving several of the variables at the same time (e.g. using xarray to perform the ADCP beam to earth rotations)

Where is all this going?
Ultimately to produce mean current profile time series for data release (think hourly time-depth shaped dataframes) and bursts of hourly data (think hourly time-depth-sample shaped dataframes) on which to perform a variety of wave analysis.

This is my learn-python project, so apologies for the non-pythonic approach.  I also need to preserve backwards compatibility with existing code and conventions (EPIC, historically, CF and thredds, going forward).

I have read a bit about dask.  Am I missing the Pandas Panel analog in Dask?

My data is in netcdf4, and the files can have as many as 17 variables or more.  It's not clear how to get this easily into dask.  In Pandas I think the entire netCDF file equates to a Panel.  A single variable would be a DataFrame.  

Rather than wandering around in the weeds, I could use a hint here.  Do I really need to open the netCDF4 file, then iterate over my variables and deal them into a series of dask data frames?  That seems very un-pythonic.

I tried this...
presumably from here:  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/interoperability_hdf5.html
I can open a netCDF4 file as ""HDF5"" using dask.
Let's try a dask example (http://dask.pydata.org/en/latest/examples/dataframe-hdf5.html)
with one of my netCDF files:

df = dd.read_hdf('reallybignetCDF4file.nc',key='/c') # this does not work

Thanks,
Marinna
