Astropy has pretty good units support: http://astropy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/units/ Would it be possible to copy what they do?

Probably worth pinging @dopplershift again. He has wrestled with this a lot.

> 2\. once our minimum required numpy version is 1.17 @shoyer - what would be an approximate time frame for this?

There is a great kdtree-based geospatial resampling package you might want to consider building on: https://github.com/pytroll/pyresample It is fast (multithreaded) and has support for different map projections.

Maybe this is off topic, but are the plans to support more general spatial resampling / regridding? Like if I have two DataArrays a and b with different spatial coords,...

Subscribers to this thread will probably be interested in @JiaweiZhuang's recent progress on xESMF. That package is now a viable solution for 2D regridding of xarray datasets. https://github.com/JiaweiZhuang/xESMF

Thanks so much for taking the time to write up this detailed bug report! 🙏

I'm puzzled that I was not able to reproduce this error. I modified the end slightly as follows ```python # save dataset as netcdf ds.to_netcdf("test.nc") # load saved dataset ds_test...

Now that we have the `meta_array` option (see https://github.com/zarr-developers/zarr-python/pull/934), which allows loading of data to different array types, it should be more straightforward to implement some sort of sparse support...
