However, to be really useful we'd need to get a `sparse-xarray` library which makes working with `sparse` and `xarray` easier (going from dense to sparse or the reverse still requires something like `da.copy(data=sparse.COO.from_numpy(da.data))`, which is not user-friendly). Anyways, the docs you're looking for is [working with numpy-like arrays](https://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/user-guide/duckarrays.html), even though there's no explicit mention of `sparse` there, either.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,479942077
