Configuration Options
The following configuration options are available for this task:
[climatologyMapWoa]
## options related to plotting climatology maps of Temperature and Salinity
## fields at various levels, including the sea floor against control model
## results and WOA climatological data

The option depths is a list of (approximate) depths at which to sample
the temperature and salinity fields. A value of 'top' indicates the sea
surface. Note that, for the annual climatology, WOA23 data is available down
to 5500 m, whereas, for the seasonal or monthly climatologies, WOA23 data
is only available down to 1500 m.
