I've struggled with the same problem. I tend to forget sometimes that contouring is not magic. Plotting your data under the contours shows that there are considerable areas of your plot where there are no data. The spatial pattern and sparsity of your points
are challenging to contour. Perhaps contouring is not the best method to illustrate these data. Are you asking the routine to do something that it is not designed to do? Just plotting the points coloured by magnitude may give a better representation of the
actual data. You can also scale the size of each coloured point by it's magnitude. This can be quite an effective representation of this type of data.<br>
