    Thanks Rick.<br>
    <br>
    I got the "best" smoothing using:<br>
    <br>
    ; smoothing options<br>
    res@cnSmoothingOn = True<br>
    res@cnSmoothingDistanceF = .0001 ; best 0.0001<br>
    res@cnSmoothingTensionF = 7.5 ; best 7.5.<br>
    <br>
    This is the result:<br>

      "Best" rather subjective, but I tried to optimize the colour
      transitions to reflect reasonable gradients. <br>
      <br>
      Much appreciated,<br>
