There does appear to be a scaling problem for *some* of your data. Again, here 
is some data from ncdump

0.009999906, 0.009999836, 0.00999982, 0.009999977, 0.009999984, 0.009999992, 
0.095131695, 0.30423316, 19.564352, 39.846634, 43.286114, 44.689236, 44.72648, 
46.670063, 50.28707, 49.16968, 49.081825, 32.550858, 0.010051157, 0.010065992, 
0.010065666, 0.010040072, 0.0100005325, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0

Some of the data appears to have to wrong order of magnitude, but you would 
know better than I ;-)
