Question

How to make my plot points smooth in d3.js using projection?

I can plot some weather data on a map using the following code. However, the dots are rectangles, and I would like to make them smoother.

Rectectles plotted ,

I would like to make them smoother, like something similar to Ideal plot points

I believe that I need to study interpolation, spatial analysis and / or Choropleth maps. I think these are different algorithms. I feel that I need to fill more points between existing ones? And with this you can make a gradient, like dots? Can this be done in D3? Or should I consider using three.js or WebGL materials?

var width = 960,
height = 960;

var map = {};
var projection = d3.geo.mercator()
.scale((width + 1) / 2 / Math.PI)
.translate([width / 2, height / 2])
.precision(.1);

var path = d3.geo.path()
.projection(projection);

var graticule = d3.geo.graticule();

var svg = d3.select("body").append("svg")
.attr("width", width)
.attr("height", height);

svg.append("path")
.datum(graticule)
.attr("class", "graticule")
.attr("d", path);

d3.json("world-50m.json", function(error, world) {
 svg.insert("path", ".graticule")
  .datum(topojson.feature(world, world.objects.land))
  .attr("class", "land")
  .attr("d", path);

svg.insert("path", ".graticule")
  .datum(topojson.mesh(world, world.objects.countries, function(a, b) { return a !== b; }))
  .attr("class", "boundary")
  .attr("d", path);
});

map.plot_points = [];
map.max = 30;
map.min = -1;
var opacity = d3.scale.linear()
 .domain([map.min, map.max])
 .range([0,1]);  
var rainbow = ["#CE0C82", "#800CCE", "#1F0CCE", "#0C5BCE", "#0C99CE", "#2ECE0C", "#BAE806", "#FEFF00", "#FFCD00", "#FF9A00", "#FF6000", "#FF0000"];
zs.forEach(function(zv,zi){
    zv.forEach(function(zzv, zzi){
        if(zzv != 999)
            {
                map.plot_points.push({lat: ys[zi], long:xs[zzi],value:zzv});
            }

        })
});
console.log(map);
var points = svg.selectAll("rects.points")
 .data(map.plot_points)
 .enter()
 .append("rect")
 .attr("class", "points")
 .style("fill", function(d) {
   var scale = d3.scale.linear().domain([map.min, map.max]).range([1, rainbow.length]);
        return rainbow[Math.round(scale(d.value))]; 
}).attr("width", 8)
.attr("height", 8)
.style("fill-opacity", 1)
.attr("transform", function(d) {
        return "translate(" + projection([d.long, d.lat]) + ")";
})
