GeoTIFFS (Geographic Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF)) are an image format based on the TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), that contain georeferencing information embedded within a raster image.Rasters in GeoTIFFs are made up of gridded pixels (or arrays) that map to a geographic region. The pixels values represent a characteristic (variable) for the geographic region it maps to.

Would the following wording be better?

The TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) format is a metadata rich image format for raster data. GeoTIFF (Geographic Tagged Image File Format) files are TIFF files that use georeferencing information (such as map projection and coordinate systems) as metadata. A GeoTIFF file with a single band contains 2D raster data for a single characteristic (i.e., variable) and maps to a geographic region. A GeoTIFF file can have multiple bands that all map to the same geographic region.

I think we should mention that we need an optional dependency.

Replace

Xarray's "rasterio" backend supports reading GeoTIFFs.

with

Xarray's "rasterio" backend supports reading GeoTIFFs. This backend is provided by rioxarray which can be installed from PyPI and Conda.
