It sounds to me like the color limits are being autoscaled with each
call to pcolor. cm.jet does define the color map, but the color
limits define the range of your data that correspond to the min and
max of the colormap.
See help(clim)
If after each call to pcolor, you manually set the clim, you should
have no problems.

Thanks very much. Setting clim(0.0, 1.0) inside the loop stabilized the
color mapping.
