Hi @matt-long:
I am using your util.py to plot sea surface temperature on POP gx1v6 grids. There are strange horizontal lines at the north pole. Please see the attached figure. My jupyter-notebook is available at Could you please let me know how to get rid of the horizontal lines near the north pole. Thanks so much for your help.
Regards!
