No. Xarray's data model requires all dimensions to have a name.

Xarray allows you to create DataArrays without specifying dimensions:

```python
import xarray as xr
import numpy as np
da = xr.DataArray(np.zeros((4, 5)))
```

Xarray will choose dimension names in this case (`dim_0`, `dim_1`, etc.)

This doesn't work with creating Datasets, because you *have* to specify all variables' dimensions in the Dataset constructor.

I imagine that unnamed dimensions would break lots of internal Xarray logic.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,621078539
