I weakly prefer not to use the name integrate and instead keep the standard scipy names because they make clear the numerical algorithm that is being applied.

Yes, this is a totally valid concern, if a user might expect integrate to be calculating something different. One point in favor of calling this integrate is that the name is highly searchable, which provides an excellent place to include documentation about how to integrate in general (including links to other packages, like pangeo's vector calculus package). But we know that nobody reads documentation ;).

integrate would allow to do things like:

da.integrate(how='rectangle')

da.integrate(how='trapezoidal')
