Consider just working directly with the dataset variables, i.e. `dset.pr`, `dset.lat`, etc. ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,417666040 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/2804#issuecomment-470140628,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/2804,470140628,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ3MDE0MDYyOA==,2443309,2019-03-06T15:04:09Z,2019-03-06T15:04:09Z,MEMBER,"@mada0007 - It looks like the calendar attribute in you dataset is malformed (`days since 0001-01-01`). As the exception says, it must be a valid calendar string that can include any of: `['standard', 'gregorian', 'proleptic_gregorian', 'noleap', 'julian', 'all_leap', '365_day', '366_day', '360_day']`. You can try setting `decode_times=False` or fixing the calendar attribute before opening in xarray.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,417666040
