I feel it should be "scientific Python ecosystem" following https://scientific-python.org/about/ and https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2649-2.

Yes, I was also wondering which version we want to use, as I found all three "Scientific Python Ecosystem", "Scientific Python ecosystem", and "scientific Python ecosystem". But going with the one used on the official website makes sense.

This object provides a wrapper around regular scientific Python formats.
I'm unsure what "scientific Python formats" means. The official documentation (https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/generated/xarray.DataArray.html) says:
DataArray provides a wrapper around numpy ndarrays that uses labeled dimensions and coordinates to support metadata aware operations.

Good point! Actually I was already a bit confused by "regular PyData formats". So, I just replaced the term. Maybe we should rewrite this sentence to something similar as in the official xarray docs, please see commit 2773524.
