Re-Hello and thank you,

hm, so the proper way (if necessary at all) would be to set

da.encoding = {'_FillValue': np.datetime64('NAT')}

rather than putting it in attrs?

Maybe I make a mistake in xarray-simlab and I should set the encoding explicitly and my confusion comes from having _FillValue in attrs and encoding. But - as far as I can see - in the xarray docs for writing netcdf the encoding _FillValue is mentioned. Why is xarray not ignoring the _FillValue in attrs?
