I'm trying to use xarray.save_mfdataset to write out a bunch of netcdf files from a dask-enabled jupyter notebook.

Is there any way to specify the encoding and unlimited_dim as you would using the to_netcdf() function?

The solution is to loop over and update DataArray.encoding and Dataset.encoding before calling save_mfdataset

unlimited_dims may also be set via dataset.encoding["unlimited_dims"].

Thanks, I'll give that a shot!
