There is no requirement that the arguments be on a grid; x, y, u, and v 
can simply be 1-D arrays with the desired locations and values.

basemap's barbs is a mapping wrapper around matplotlib's Axes.barbs() 
method, so you can use either one depending on whether you want to plot 
on a map projection or on some other x,y coordinates.
