@kuchaale - Thanks for the report. You are trying to save a list of DataArray objects using save_mfdataset, which does not currently support saving DataArrays to netCDF.

Changing your line:

Python foo = xr.DataArray(data, coords=[times, locs], dims=['time', 'space']) foo.name = 'foo' to Python foo = xr.DataArray(data, coords=[times, locs], dims=['time', 'space']).to_dataset(name='foo')

corrects issue.

We could add a save_mfdataarray function or just handle the type conversion in save_mfdataset if that would be useful.
