climatologyMapEKE
=================

An analysis task for comparison of global maps of eddy kinetic energy (EKE).

Component and Tags::

  component: ocean
  tags: climatology, horizontalMap, eke, publicObs

Configuration Options
---------------------

The following configuration options are available for this task::

  [climatologyMapEKE]
  ## options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
  ## eddy kinetic energy (EKE) against reference model results and observations

  # colormap for model/observations
  colormapNameResult = magma_r
  # the type of norm used in the colormap
  normTypeResult = linear
  # A dictionary with keywords for the norm
  normArgsResult = {'vmin': 0., 'vmax': 1000.}
  # place the ticks automatically by default
  # colorbarTicksResult = numpy.linspace(-2., 2., 9)

  # colormap for differences
  colormapNameDifference = balance
  # the type of norm used in the colormap
  normTypeDifference = linear
  # A dictionary with keywords for the norm
  normArgsDifference = {'vmin': -300., 'vmax': 300.}
  # place the ticks automatically by default
  # colorbarTicksDifference = numpy.linspace(-2., 2., 9

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

  # comparison grid(s) ('latlon', 'antarctic') on which to plot analysis
  comparisonGrids = ['latlon']
