You are allowed to add new coordinates to a DataArray if they share existing dimensions. You are not allowed to add coordinates with new dimensions, because it is enforced as an invariant of the DataArray data model that all coordinate dimensions are found on the DataArray variable as well.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,484089737
