Configuration Options¶
The following configuration options are available for this task:
[climatologyMapWoa]
## options related to plotting climatology maps of Temperature and Salinity
## fields at various levels, including the sea floor against control model
## results and WOA climatological data
# comparison grid(s) ('latlon', 'antarctic', 'arctic') on which to plot analysis
comparisonGrids = ['arctic']
# Months or seasons to plot (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct,
# Nov, Dec, JFM, AMJ, JAS, OND, ANN)
seasons = ['ANN','JFM','JAS']
# list of depths in meters (positive up) at which to analyze, 'top' for the
# sea surface. Note that, for seasons='ANN', depths can be as deep as 5500 m,
# otherwise use a maximum depth of 1500 m.
depths = ['top', -500, -1000]
# a list of fields top plot for each transect. All supported fields are listed
# below
fieldList = ['temperature', 'salinity']

The option depths is a list of (approximate) depths at which to sample
the temperature and salinity fields. A value of 'top' indicates the sea
surface. Note that, for the annual climatology, WOA18 data is available down
to 5500 m, whereas, for the seasonal or monthly climatologies, WOA18 data
is only available down to 1500 m.
