indexNino34¶
An analysis task for plotting both time series and spectra of the El Niño 3.4 Climate Index against observations.
Component and Tags:
component: ocean
tags: timeSeries, index, nino, publicObs
Configuration Options¶
The following configuration options are available for this task:
[indexNino34]
## options related to plotting time series of the El Nino 3.4 index
# Specified region for the Nino Index,'nino3', 'nino4', or 'nino3.4'
# The indexNino34 routine only accepts one value at a time
region = nino3.4
# Data source to read for comparison. There are two options
# 1 - ERS_SSTv4 -- Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature -- 1854 - 2016
# 2 - HADIsst -- Hadley Center analysis -- 1870 - 2016
observationData = HADIsst
While the default is the El Niño 3.4 region, you may select among
nino3
, nino4
, and nino3.4
. See Regions for more
information about regions in MPAS-Analyis.
By default, observations are taken from the Hadley Center analysis. To use
the Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERS SSTv4), set
observationData = ERS_SSTv4
.
