    described outside the context of its parent Dataset (if you want such a

    The main functional difference between Variables and numpy arrays is that
    numerical operations on Variables implement array broadcasting by dimension
    name. For example, adding an Variable with dimensions `('time',)` to
    another Variable with dimensions `('space',)` results in a new Variable

    like ``mean`` or ``sum`` are overwritten to take a "dimension" argument
    instead of an "axis".

    Variables are light-weight objects used as the building block for datasets.
    They are more primitive objects, so operations with them provide marginally
    higher performance than using DataArrays. However, manipulating data in the
    form of a Dataset or DataArray should almost always be preferred, because
