MCVE Code Sample
import xarray as xr
d = xr.open_dataset('g01_xrs_1m_3s_vc_19780501_19780531.nc')
print(d['xl'])
df = d.to_dataframe()
print(df['xl'])Expected Output
I expected the same numbers.
Problem Description
Datafile
This issue is somehow similar to #2304.
I don't see any trends here, some files are converted properly whereas some are full of bogus data.
I'm grateful that I don't have to deal with csv files, however...
I clearly understand that this is not rocket science, some precision loss is fine in general.
Nevertheless, when you work with small numbers this can result in completely incorrect results. What's the point in predicting the time series when you have identical values everywhere.
