`mean` returns empty DataArray for `groupby_bins` containing `datetime64`

Open observingClouds opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

What happened?

Applying the mean operator to an xarray dataset that has been grouped by bins, removes variables containing values of type datetime64.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect that all variables are preserved after applying the mean-operator. For min and max this works as expected. sum is not meaningful, so it makes sense that the variable is dropped in that case as well.

Minimal Complete Verifiable Example

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import xarray as xr

times = pd.date_range('2020-01-01', '2020-02-01', freq='1H')
index = np.arange(len(times))
bins = np.arange(0,len(index),5)
ds=xr.Dataset({'time':('index', times),'float':('index', np.linspace(0,1,len(index)))},coords={'index':index})

ds.groupby_bins('index', bins).mean()
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:     (index_bins: 148)
Coordinates:
  * index_bins  (index_bins) object (0, 5] (5, 10] ... (730, 735] (735, 740]
Data variables:
    float       (index_bins) float64 0.004032 0.01075 0.01747 ... 0.9852 0.9919

ds.groupby_bins('index', bins).min()
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:     (index_bins: 148)
Coordinates:
  * index_bins  (index_bins) object (0, 5] (5, 10] ... (730, 735] (735, 740]
Data variables:
    time        (index_bins) datetime64[ns] 2020-01-01T01:00:00 ... 2020-01-3...
    float       (index_bins) float64 0.001344 0.008065 0.01478 ... 0.9825 0.9892

MVCE confirmation

  • [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray.
  • [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback.
  • [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or Binder notebook, returning the result.
  • [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate.
