An example with the same data but the second dataset has a decreasing index. ```python import numpy as np import xarray as xr da = xr.DataArray([0, 2, np.nan, 3, 3.25], dims=""x"", coords={""x"": [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]}) da1= xr.DataArray([3.25, 3,np.nan,2,0],dims='x',coords={""x"":[4,3,2,1,0]}) da_inter=da.interpolate_na(dim='x', method='cubic') da1_inter=da1.interpolate_na(dim='x',method='cubic',use_coordinate=False) ``` As far as I understand interpolation, the result is the same.
