I'm slowly getting through it - mostly because I am new to cartopy and not that experienced with matplotlib overall. 

The biggest trouble I have is with tightening the space between the map and the colorbar at the bottom, but this looks like a cartopy/mpl question, not an xarray question, so I should quit pestering you guys.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,225846258

It would be great to see how the output of the `plot()` function can be broadcast to axes or handles, so that they can be manipulated at will. Right now, typing  
`a = s.Tair[0].plot.pcolormesh(ax=ax, transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), x='xc', y='yc', 
                           cbar_kwargs={'orientation':'horizontal'});`
returns a complex object that is a bit forbidding for a first-time user without any example in the doc. A simple example would go a long way, but I understand that everything takes time and no-one is getting paid for this!
cheers

With the latter, everything shows up properly with the correct projection. I guess I was working with an older version of the notebook, which had the former command, not the latter. 

Bonus question for @shoyer : it's simple to add the colorbar, but not easy to make it horizontal, for instance. Is the idea is that if a lot of customization is desired, users should go with more direct cartopy commands, rather than xarray plotting tools, which are useful for quick checks, but not publication-quality figures?

As you say, having to specify the transform is prodigiously unintuitive for a first-time cartopy user (my case). Unfortunately, I get the problem with or without applying transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(). 

@fmaussion yes, that is precisely the code I used, switching PlateCarree() for Robinson() in cell 16. 

The only output I get when I do this is the bottom legend; the rest of the plot vanishes. ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,225846258
