90658514 MDU6SXNzdWU5MDY1ODUxNA== 442 NetCDF attributes like `long_name` and `units` lost on `.mean()` 3404817 closed 0     5 2015-06-24T12:14:30Z 2020-04-05T18:18:31Z 2015-06-26T07:28:54Z CONTRIBUTOR      

When reading in a variable from netCDF, the standard attributes like long_name, standard_name, and units are being propagated, but apparently lost when calling ~~.load()~~ .mean() on the DataArray.

Couldn't these CF-Highly Recommended Variable Attributes be kept during this operation?

(What to do with them afterwards, e.g. upon merge, is a different question, unresolved also in the pandas community.)

EDIT: the problem actually occurs when calling .mean() (not .load(), as originally posted).
