Hello,

I'm having similar issues. However, I'm creating a dataset from a dict (data are packed in Matlab file).

The dataset is ds_ivt and I have tried: python ds_ivt.time.encode['units'] = 'days since 1900-01-01' and

python ds_ivt.to_netcdf('ds_ivt.nc',encoding={'time':{'units':'days since 1900-01-01'}}) The .info() method retrieves:

bash ds_ivt.info() xarray.Dataset { dimensions: lat = 161 ; lon = 291 ; time = 1460 ; variables: float32 lat(lat) ; lat:units = degrees ; float32 lon(lon) ; lon:units = degrees ; datetime64[ns] time(time) ; time:units = days since 1900-01-01 ; float32 iqu(time, lat, lon) ; iqu:units = kg m-1 s-1 ; float32 iqv(time, lat, lon) ; iqv:units = kg m-1 s-1 ; // global attributes: }
