Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am attempting to create a contour map using cell fill of a 1x1 degree dataset. There are no error messages, however the output plot is irregular, with a (seemingly random) column appearing in the NW corner of the domain. Running the identical
 code multiple times, the column starts in the NW corner, sometimes extending south, other times extending north, and occasionally not occurring at all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please find a screenshot of the plot and a simplified version of the script below. I would appreciate any assistance that could be provided.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note, the script is simplified for ncl-talk purposes; CellFill is necessary due to missing data constraints and the nature of the particular research project. I am running version 6.5.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
