The title for this "Align coordinate data for multiple variables" is rather broad, but based on the description, is the specific feature of interest just *vertical alignment*, namely subsetting data...

Thank you for digging into this (and for prompting some flashbacks to numerical analysis)! While unfortunate, I am not surprised by this at all from a numerical analysis point-of-view, and...

> These functions assume that the coordinate values (e.g. x) that you provide correspond directly to the scalar values, no shift. The calculated derivative estimates are valid at these locations...

I've been browsing through issues on the 1.3.0 milestone, and wanted to check in about how this could be resolved as a part of #893. Should we replace the implementation...

> Should there be a row for `xarray.Dataset` in point 2? No, as an `xarray.Dataset` is a collection of arrays, rather than an array type itself. However, perhaps a comment...

Not sure if this falls here or should be it's own issue, but https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/discussions/2333 made me notice that the following error message in `check_units` is incorrect: https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/blob/94ef0e0895440b96853073004abf4b779e1b6178/src/metpy/units.py#L262-L264 This approach to...

Thank you for the thorough response and I apologize for my ambiguity! The map projections I typically use (and so, what I had in mind when I said "those") are...

I also agree that supporting CF conventions would be very useful, and would allow me to remove a quite a few kludges in my code when using xESMF. --- With...

I think [MetPy](https://github.com/Unidata/MetPy/) (meteorology toolkit) would be a good example to get started. Perhaps the Pint docs could curate a list of packages using Pint (like [xarray does](http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/related-projects.html))?
