322849322 MDU6SXNzdWUzMjI4NDkzMjI= 2129 Using `DataArray.where()` with a DataArray as the condition drops the name 4849151 closed 0     4 2018-05-14T14:46:18Z 2020-04-14T08:54:33Z 2020-04-14T08:54:33Z NONE      

Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

Create a boolean DataArray to use as a mask for another DataArray, with the same coordinates:

python da_1 = xr.DataArray(np.array([0.861185, 0.301491, 0.642744, 0.773298, 0.786516, 0.011693, 0.659326, 0.07877 , 0.108488, 0.747863]), coords=[('coord1', np.arange(10))], name='da1') da_2 = xr.DataArray(np.array([0.116959, 0.955742, 0.121562, 0.635573, 0.304895, 0.064529, 0.042461, 0.41751 , 0.607457, 0.110104]), coords=[('coord1', np.arange(10))], name='da2') da_3 = np.rint(da_2).astype('bool') print(da_1) <xarray.DataArray 'da1' (coord1: 10)> array([0.861185, 0.301491, 0.642744, 0.773298, 0.786516, 0.011693, 0.659326, 0.07877 , 0.108488, 0.747863]) Coordinates: * coord1 (coord1) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 print(da_1.where(da_3)) <xarray.DataArray (coord1: 10)> array([ nan, 0.301491, nan, 0.773298, nan, nan, nan, nan, 0.108488, nan]) Coordinates: * coord1 (coord1) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Problem description

When using a DataArray (da_3 in the example) as the condition in the where() method of another DataArray (da_1), the name of the DataArray being masked (da_1) is dropped.

Expected Output

The name should be retained. python print(da_1.where(da_3)) <xarray.DataArray 'da_1` (coord1: 10)> array([ nan, 0.301491, nan, 0.773298, nan, nan, nan, nan, 0.108488, nan]) Coordinates: * coord1 (coord1) int64 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
