Here is an example of a random polar plot that doesn't work without the suggested modification:

```python import xarray import numpy as np from collections import OrderedDict from datetime import datetime

define dimensions

dims = OrderedDict([ ('time', [datetime(2016,12,1,1,0,0), datetime(2016,12,1,1,20,0)]), ('location', np.arange(3)), ('frequency', np.linspace(.1, .5, 20)), ('direction', np.linspace(0., 2.*np.pi, 50)), ])

create random data

E = np.random.rand(*[len(x) for x in dims.itervalues()])

construct DataArray

darray = xarray.DataArray(E, dims=dims, coords=dims)

plot data

darray.plot.pcolormesh(col='time', row='location', subplot_kws=dict(projection='polar'), sharex=False, sharey=False) ```
