Would it be an option to use dask's sparse support? http://dask.pydata.org/en/latest/array-sparse.html This way xarray could let dask do the main work.

In principle this would work, though I would prefer to support it directly in xarray, too.

I know that NetCDF4 has some conventions how to store sparse data, but do we have to implement our own conversion mechanisms for each sparse type?

Yes, we would need to implement a convention for handling sparse array data.
