216626776 MDU6SXNzdWUyMTY2MjY3NzY= 1324 Choose time units in output netcdf 7799184 closed 0     10 2017-03-24T02:25:22Z 2023-08-09T08:01:43Z 2019-12-04T14:25:59Z CONTRIBUTOR      

Is there any way to define the units in output netcdf created from to_netcdf method without having to manually convert the time objects into floats for example? It could maybe be handy if the units attribute of time coordinate could be modified and the modified value (if CF-compliant) used for encoding time in the output netcdf. Currently, to_netcdf raises ValueError: Failed hard to prevent overwriting key 'units' if the attribute is modified.

Thanks
