it's simple to add the colorbar, but not easy to make it horizontal

You can try:

ds.Tair[0].plot.pcolormesh(ax=ax, transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), x='xc', y='yc', cbar_kwargs={'orientation':'horizontal'});

xarray plotting tools, which are useful for quick checks, but not publication-quality figures?

Yes, as a general purpose tool xarray will try to avoid the proliferation of keyword arguments. If you have very specific needs you might need to tweak the plots yourself. Fortunately, this is easy to do on top of xarray since you can control the axes, plots, and so on.

We could add more advanced examples to the docs though (for example in the gallery I had no time to add yet :( )
