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']
