Spherical Multi-Cell Mesh (Projected)
-------------------------------------

This example demonstrates how to render a projected unstructured quadrilateral mesh.

📋 Summary
^^^^^^^^^^

Creates a mesh from 2-D latitude and longitude unstructured cell bounds.

The resulting mesh contains quad cells.

It uses WAVEWATCH III (WW3) unstructured Spherical Multi-Cell (SMC) sea surface
wave significant height data located on mesh faces/cells.

Note that, a threshold is also applied to remove land ``NaN`` cells, and a
Natural Earth base layer is rendered along with Natural Earth coastlines. The mesh
is also transformed to the Sinusoidal (Sanson-Flamsteed) pseudo-cylindrical
projection.
