It also sets up an xgcm grid object for the Dataset, which is stored necessary for many `xroms` functions, and can be stored and accessible in the accessor (`ds.xroms.xgrid`). There are optional flags for `xroms.roms_dataset()` for what all metrics to lazily calculate since it can be time-consuming despite being lazily loaded and calculated; see the {doc}`API docs ` for details.
