Component and Tags:

component: seaIce
tags: climatology, horizontalMap, seaIceAreaFractionRidge, publicObs

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for this task:

[climatologyMapSeaIceAreaFractionRidgeNH]
## options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
## ridged area fraction of sea ice
## in the northern hemisphere (NH)

# colormap for model/observations
colormapNameResult = tokyo
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeResult = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesResult = [20, 50, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsResult = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1]

# colormap for differences
colormapNameDifference = balance
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeDifference = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesDifference = [0, 32, 64, 96, 112, 128, 128, 144, 160, 192, 224, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsDifference = [-1., -0.8, -0.6, -0.4, -0.2, -0.1, 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.]

# Times for comparison
seasons =  ['FM', 'ON']

# comparison grid(s) (typically 'arctic_extended') on which to plot analysis
comparisonGrids = ['antarctic_extended']

# arrange subplots vertically?
vertical = False

The option vertical = True can be used to plot 3 panels one above another (resulting in a tall, thin image) rather than next to each other, the default (resulting in a short, wide image).
