The time variable should retain the calendar encoding (the Dataset will not). E.g.: ``` In [1]: import cftime In [2]: import numpy as np In [3]: import xarray as xr In [4]: units = 'days since 2000-02-25' In [5]: times = cftime.num2date(np.arange(7), units=units, calendar='365_day') In [6]: da = xr.DataArray(np.arange(7), coords=[times], dims=['time'], name='a') In [7]: da.to_netcdf('data-noleap.nc') In [8]: ds = xr.open_dataset('data-noleap.nc') In [9]: ds.encoding['calendar'] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 default.encoding['calendar'] KeyError: 'calendar' In [10]: ds.time.encoding['calendar'] Out[10]: u'noleap' ```","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,363299007
