Rebonjour Patrick,

We are able to reproduce what you see. As far as we can tell, this an artifact 
of the transparency, and not necessarily a problem. In particular, in some 
areas, the isosurface is illuminated from underneath. These isosurfaces are 
"free-floating" like clouds, and you can see the underside of the isosurface. 
If you rotate your view, you can see that these isosurfaces are "detached" from 
the globe.

cordialement,
