Trigger loading data into memory and return a new dataset. Data will be computed and/or loaded from disk or a remote source. Unlike ``.load``, the original dataset is left unaltered. Normally, it should not be necessary to call this method in user code, because all

        Data will be computed and/or loaded from disk or a remote source.

        Unlike ``.load``, the original dataset is left unaltered.

        Normally, it should not be necessary to call this method in user code,
        because all xarray functions should either work on deferred data or
        load data automatically. However, this method can be necessary when
        working with many file objects on disk.

        Parameters
        ----------
        **kwargs : dict
            Additional keyword arguments passed on to ``dask.compute``.

        Returns
        -------
        object : Dataset
            New object with lazy data variables and coordinates as in-memory arrays.
