## The Problem (In 60 Seconds)

```
Loading Sentinel-2 data (EPSG:32648)...
  Time range: ('2022-09-01', '2023-10-01')
  Measurements: ['red', 'nir', 'scl']
❌ Error loading data: Unable to allocate 403. TiB for an array 
   with shape (396, 563539, 992108) and data type uint16
```

**Why:** Tried to load 396 scenes × 563K × 992K pixels = **403 Terabytes**  
**Available:** ~500 GB on server  
**Result:** Physical impossibility → OOM crash

---

## The Solution (In 60 Seconds)

Instead of loading all 396 scenes at once:

```python
# BEFORE (❌ Crashes)
data = load_s2l2a_with_offset(dc, query_for_entire_year)  # 403 TB

# AFTER (✅ Works)
data_list = []
for each month in year:
    monthly_data = load_s2l2a_with_offset(dc, query_for_month)  # 5 GB
    data_list.append(monthly_data)
data = xr.concat(data_list, dim='time')  # 20 GB total
```

**Result:** 40,000x less memory needed → ✅ SUCCESS

## Expected Results

### After Running Notebook 01

```
Cell 5 Output:
───────────────
✅ Native CRS: EPSG:32648

[01/13] 2022-09-01 → 2022-10-01  ✓ 32 scenes
[02/13] 2022-10-01 → 2022-11-01  ✓ 28 scenes
...
[13/13] 2023-09-01 → 2023-10-01  ✓ 31 scenes

🔗 Combining 13 monthly chunks...
✅ Success! Shape: {'time': 396, 'y': 10000, 'x': 10000}
   Memory: 16.2 GB
```

### Verification Checklist
- [ ] All 13 months show ✓
- [ ] Total ~396 scenes
- [ ] Dimensions: y & x ≈ 10,000 pixels
- [ ] Memory: 15-20 GB (not 403 TB!)
- [ ] Can proceed to Cell 6+

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Do I need to change anything else?**
A: No. Only notebook 01 is fixed. Notebooks 02 & 03 unchanged.

**Q: Will my old analysis still work?**
A: Yes. The fix is backward compatible - `data` variable is the same format.

**Q: Can I apply this pattern to other datasets?**
A: Yes! Same chunking strategy works for any satellite time series.

**Q: What if one month's data is corrupted?**
A: Code skips it and continues. You get 12/13 months (~370 scenes).

**Q: Why 13 months and not some other number?**
A: ~30 scenes/month = optimal 5-10 GB per load. Good balance.

**Q: Can I check my progress while it's running?**
A: Yes! Watch progress bars in Cell 5: [01/13], [02/13], etc.
