Notes
-----
Zarr chunking behavior:
If chunks are found in the encoding argument or attribute
corresponding to any DataArray, those chunks are used.
If a DataArray is a dask array, it is written with those chunks.
If not other chunks are found, Zarr uses its own heuristics to
choose automatic chunk sizes.
