Description
Would look like:
We could support both filled and non-filled contours with a kwarg?
Note: I am unsure how masks would be handled in such a plot, as unlike with an image, you cannot just make a small area of pixels with a different colormap.
Passing a numpy masked array to matplotlib's contourf is handled but often yields ugly results with 'torn' boundaries around masks.
Maybe we could just raise if the input data contains masks?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked contour_demo reference and matplotlib's contourf behavior, including the masked-array note in the issue. Done should support both filled and non-filled contours through a kwarg and establish how masked input is handled.
