This doesn't work automatically, but you can use the method='nearest' and the tolerance argument with .reindex or .reindex_like to align two datasets with different grids, i.e.,

second = first.reindex_like(second, method='nearest', tolerance=0.001)

It would be nice for this to be able to work automatically, but the challenge is picking a heuristic that does not violate the principle of least surprise. A proposed a few ideas in a related issue in pandas (https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues/9817#issuecomment-115465360).
