In this case, @naomi-henderson knows a-priori that the coordinates for these files should be the same, numerical noise notwithstanding. There should be a way to just skip the alignment check completely and override the coordinates with the values from the first file. For example ```python xr.align(da1, da2, join='override') ``` This would just check that the shapes of the different coordinates match and then replace `da2`'s coordinates with those from `da1`.
