Earth, ocean and atmosphere
Remote sensing, weather radar, climate records and subsurface geophysics. The recurring problems here are incomplete coverage (land under an ocean sensor, a radar’s unfilled corners), quantities whose sign carries the meaning (radial velocity toward or away, an anomaly above or below a reference), and grids that are polar, curvilinear or unevenly spaced before they ever reach the plotting call.
