This is actually closer to the functionality of concat than merge. Hypothetically, something like the following would do what you want:

```

note: this is not valid syntax currently! the dims arguments

does not yet exist.

this would hypothetically only align along the 'y' dimension, not 'x'

aligned = xr.align(*das, join='outer', dims='y') combined = xr.concat(aligned, dim='x') ```

In cases where each array does not already have the dimension you want to concat along, this already works fine, because you can simply omit dims in align.
