Long time listener first time caller :wink:

I am not 100% about this PR though. I think that there are cases when we need the actual data rather than the timedelta. In this notebook we have wave period ('mper') that should be seconds ranging 0-30 and not those big numpy timedelta numbers.

I know that I can get that behavior with decode_times=True when opening the dataset, but then the time coordinate get decoded as well. (Maybe I am way off and there is a way to do this.)
