climatologyMapAntarcticMelt

An analysis task for comparison of Antarctic maps of melt rates against observations from Rignot et al. (2013).

Component and Tags:

component: ocean
tags: climatology, horizontalMap, meltRate, landIceCavities

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for this task:

[climatologyMapAntarcticMelt]
## options related to plotting horizontally regridded maps of Antarctic
## sub-ice-shelf melt rates against reference model results and observations

# comparison grid(s)
# only the Antarctic really makes sense but lat-lon could technically work.
comparisonGrids = ['antarctic']

# Months or seasons to plot (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep,
# Oct, Nov, Dec, JFM, AMJ, JAS, OND, ANN)
seasons =  ['JFM', 'JAS', 'ANN']

# colormap for model/observations
colormapNameResult = erdc_iceFire_H
# the type of norm used in the colormap
normTypeResult = symLog
# A dictionary with keywords for the norm
normArgsResult = {'linthresh': 1., 'linscale': 0.5, 'vmin': -100.,
                  'vmax': 100.}
colorbarTicksResult = [-100., -50., -20., -10., -5., -2., -1., 0., 1., 2.,
                       5., 10., 20., 50., 100.]

# colormap for differences
colormapNameDifference = balance
# the type of norm used in the colormap
normTypeDifference = symLog
# A dictionary with keywords for the norm
normArgsDifference = {'linthresh': 1., 'linscale': 0.5, 'vmin': -100.,
                      'vmax': 100.}
colorbarTicksDifference = [-100., -50., -20., -10., -5., -2., -1., 0., 1.,
                           2., 5., 10., 20., 50., 100.]
