Interpolated streamplot#

Demonstrate interpolating two-dimensional model output onto a higher-resolution topography provided in a separate file. Bedrock isostatic adjustment needs to be informed in order to correct for the offset between the model and the high-resolution bedrock topographies. This is a rather extreme example with a ten-fold increase in horizontal resolution.
