Data loss ========= When writing xarray data, the following information is irreversibly lost: - Name of the parent dimension of a MultiIndex (only the MultiIndex levels are retained) - Scalar coordinates (not associated with a dimension) - Array name - Attributes - Data types, unless they can be automatically inferred by :func:`pandas.read_csv`. or :func:`pandas.to_datetime`. Booleans receive special treatment. - `Dask `_ chunks
