Load Zarr Data for Candidate Cell **Title:** Implement Zarr data loading using xarray and eopf-zarr engine #2

Description

@RobinGummels

Description:
Implement Step 4 of the algorithm: Load Sentinel-2 L2A data from STAC items using xarray with the eopf-zarr engine to exploit cloud-native chunking.

Tasks:

  • Extract Zarr asset URLs from STAC items
  • Open Zarr datasets using xarray.open_datatree() with engine="eopf-zarr"
  • Set op_mode="native" for optimal performance
  • Verify that only relevant chunks are loaded (not entire scenes)
  • Handle multiple scenes for the test candidate cell
  • Extract required bands: B03 (Green) and B11 (SWIR)

Acceptance Criteria:

  • Zarr datasets are successfully opened for all STAC items
  • Only chunks overlapping the candidate cell are loaded
  • B03 and B11 bands are accessible as xarray DataArrays
  • Memory usage is minimal (chunked loading verified)
