@sbiner are you looking at the encoding attribute of the full Dataset or the time variable? The time variable should retain the calendar encoding (the Dataset will not). E.g.: ``` In [1]: import cftime

In [2]: import numpy as np

In [3]: import xarray as xr

In [4]: units = 'days since 2000-02-25'

In [5]: times = cftime.num2date(np.arange(7), units=units, calendar='365_day')

In [6]: da = xr.DataArray(np.arange(7), coords=[times], dims=['time'], name='a')

In [7]: da.to_netcdf('data-noleap.nc')

In [8]: ds = xr.open_dataset('data-noleap.nc')

In [9]: ds.encoding['calendar']

KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-38-677c245c7bb8> in <module>() ----> 1 default.encoding['calendar']

KeyError: 'calendar'

In [10]: ds.time.encoding['calendar'] Out[10]: u'noleap' ```
