climatologyMapSeaIceSnowiceFormationSH

An analysis task for plotting maps of Antarctic sea ice cell-averaged snow-ice formation rate.

Component and Tags:

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

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for this task:

[climatologyMapSeaIceSnowiceFormationSH]
# options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
# snow-ice formation against control model results and observations
# in the southern hemisphere (SH)

# colormap for model/observations
colormapNameResult = cork
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeResult = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesResult = [20, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsResult = [0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5]

# 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, 128, 128, 160, 192, 224, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsDifference = [-0.2, -0.1, -0.05, -0.02, -0.01, 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2]

# Months or seasons to plot
seasons =  ['ANN', 'FM', 'ON']

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

# a list of prefixes describing the sources of the observations to be used
observationPrefixes = ['']

# 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).
