Thanks for the prompt reply, Bill.

We use another disc(same size with the plate) with an array of
temperature sensors to measure the temperature of the target plate and
there are no sensors at the very edge of the disc. So it is very
likely that we can not solve the problem by measuring the edge region
of the target plate. Maybe I can try setting the NaNs to be weighted
average of several adjacent points, but this will use more CPU time.
Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks again,

Best,

Charlie
