Description

We've realised that some of the dataset files we use for the documentation examples and integration testing are not actually CF compliant - so they are really not good to showcase and test on.

So we should (post merge of the #123 big revamp) review all of the datasets we use for these and ensure they are not just fully CF compliant but good exemplars for the specific visualisation case (as summarised by the titles in the form 'Example N: <title>' listing in the 'Plots by type/theme' page of the docs).

It also wouldn't hurt to increase the diversity of datasets we showcase visualisation of with cf-plot (but that could be a separate Issue).

Research direction

Wait for the #123 revamp, then use the “Plots by type/theme” page and its “Example N: <title>” entries to identify the documentation and integration-test datasets. Review each dataset for CF compliance and whether it is a good exemplar for its visualization case. Done means all reviewed datasets meet both criteria and the integration tests still work.
