I see my printed documentation was out of date... cell_fill worked like a
charm (although a little more slowly - but, it worked, which is all I care
about in this case).
Thanks much for the help.

Which version of IDL are you using? Are you using /fill or /cell_fill?
There are some known problems with contour,/cell_fill in IDL 5.0 which
can only be resolved by upgrading. My version of the online help (idl
5.1.1 ) warns that the lon/lat arrays must be monotonically increasing
when filling. (The warning comes in the section devoted to
/cell_fill, but implies the caveat should be followed when using
/fill also) Does you longitude array have a mixture of east and west
longitude? There is also a warning not to fill cylindrical projections
up to the pole, but rather a little shy of the pole, say +/-89.9
instead of =/-90.

I was unaware of any such limitation.

I don't speak for JPL, it doesn't speak for me.
Well, not all the time, at least.

Ah, oh. Here we go again. Have you tried CELL_FILL?
Cheers,
