Try the combination of inverse-distance weighting and scipy.spatial. KDTree described in SO inverse-distance-weighted-idw-interpolation-with-python . Kd-trees work nicely in 2d 3d ..., inverse-distance weighting is smooth and local, and the k= number of nearest neighbours can be varied to tradeoff speed / accuracy.
There's a bunch of options here, which one is best will depend on your data... However I don't know of an out-of-the-box solution for you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
