Antoine: As I suspected, that gap around the edges of the plot is a
consequence of the gridding procedure. griddata doesn't do
extrapolation, so there are missing values on the grid outside the
convex hull of the input observations. You can either just live with
it, or set the plotting region so that it fits entirely within the
convex hull of the data. This is what I've done in the modified version
of your script below. I've also eliminated the transform_scalar call by
gridding directly on the projection grid (instead of gridding to a
lat/lon grid, then interpolating to the projection grid). Hope this helps.
