@AndrewWilliams3142 fair question: what I was envisaging was taking slices along that dimension(s), performing the curve fitting once for each slice (which should parallelize through apply_ufunc), then returning the optimised fitting parameters as a DataArray/Dataset which varied along that dimension. For example:

```python

2D dataarray of surface height with x & t dependence

height_data

def pulse_shape(x, peak_height, peak_location, FWHM): return peak_height * np.exp(-((x-peak_location)/FWHM)^2.0)

returned fit_params has t dependence

fit_params = height_data.fit(pulse_shape, fit_along='x')

Plot a graph of change in peak height over t

fit_params['peak_height'].plot(x='t') ```
