The mathematical basis for Bézier curves—the Bernstein polynomials—was established in 1912, but the polynomials were not applied to graphics until some 50 years later when mathematician Paul de Casteljau in 1959 developed de Casteljau's algorithm, a numerically stable method for evaluating the curves, and became the first to apply them to computer-aided design at French automaker Citroën ...
Use the bezier line tool and draw a closed area that represents the distribution on top of the map. You do not need to be accurate once you cross the land boundaries. Select the bezier shape and the underlying land shape (hold shift down while using the mouse to select two objects) - run the intersection tool from the "Path" menu
Generally, the most common use of Bézier surfaces is as nets of bicubic patches (where m = n = 3). The geometry of a single bicubic patch is thus completely defined by a set of 16 control points. These are typically linked up to form a B-spline surface in a similar way as Bézier curves are linked up to form a B-spline curve.
Pierre Étienne Bézier (1 September 1910 – 25 November 1999; [pjɛʁ etjɛn bezje]) was a French engineer and one of the founders of the fields of solid, geometric and physical modelling as well as in the field of representing curves, especially in computer-aided design and manufacturing systems. [1]
In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, De Casteljau's algorithm is a recursive method to evaluate polynomials in Bernstein form or Bézier curves, named after its inventor Paul de Casteljau.

Note that the circle tool is really an ellipse and elliptic arc tool, for which we are using a special case of the ellipse, i.e. the circle. Now you should have a nice circle, with a solid black outline that is completely closed. If you have a Pac-Man shape or an arc, simply click the "make whole" button in the upper toolbar.
An example Bézier triangle with control points marked. A cubic Bézier triangle is a surface with the equation (,,) = (+ +) = + + + + + + + + +where α 3, β 3, γ 3, α 2 β, αβ 2, β 2 γ, βγ 2, αγ 2, α 2 γ and αβγ are the control points of the triangle and s, t, u (with 0 ≤ s, t, u ≤ 1 and s + t + u = 1) are the barycentric coordinates inside the triangle.
