This is correct. 
 

One of the things we've been exploring is a **""general resample utility""** that would both enable fluid translation between data at different temporal intervals (this is one of the use cases) and be aware of things like `time boundary` variable . The fundamental concepts here are analogous to ESMF's regridder's:

- Create a source axis, i.e. the axis that your original data is on,
- Create a destination axis, i.e. the axis that you want to convert your data to,
- Create an AxisRemapper object by passing the source and destination axis you created previously,
- Finally, convert your data from the source axis to the destination axis, using the AxisRemapper object you created in previous step.

We have a general, low-level prototype in https://github.com/coderepocenter/AxisUtilities. We think that it would be beneficial to have this functionality in xarray instead of it residing in yet another xarray related package. 


**For the time being, my main question is: where (in xarray) would something like this reside?**

Note:

_I am happy to open a separate issue to discuss the merits of having this functionality in xarray_.
