As mentioned in the original issue the modification is straightforward. Any ideas if this could be integrated to xarray anytime soon ?

Some people might prefer float32, so it is not as straightforward as it seems. It might be possible to add an option for this, but I didn't look into the details.

You'll have a float64 in the end but you won't get your precision back

Note that this is a fake sense of precision, because in the example above the compression used is lossy, i.e. precision was lost at compression and the actual precision is now 0.01:

short agc_40hz(time, meas_ind) ; agc_40hz:_FillValue = 32767s ; agc_40hz:units = "dB" ; agc_40hz:scale_factor = 0.01 ;
