.. _task_climatologyMapSeaIceConcSH: climatologyMapSeaIceConcSH ========================== An analysis task for plotting maps of Antarctic sea ice concentration against observations. Component and Tags:: component: seaIce tags: climatology, horizontalMap, seaIceConc, publicObs Configuration Options --------------------- The following configuration options are available for this task:: [climatologyMapSeaIceConcSH] ## options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of ## sea ice concentration against reference model results and observations ## in the southern hemisphere (SH) # colormap for model/observations colormapNameResult = ice # color indices into colormapName for filled contours colormapIndicesResult = [20, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255] # colormap levels/values for contour boundaries colorbarLevelsResult = [0.15, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1] # colormap for differences colormapNameDifference = balance # 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.] # Months or seasons to plot (These should be left unchanged, since # observations are only available for these seasons) seasons = ['DJF', 'JJA'] # comparison grid(s) ('latlon', 'antarctic') on which to plot analysis comparisonGrids = ['latlon'] # reference lat/lon for sea ice plots in the northern hemisphere minimumLatitude = -50 referenceLongitude = 180 # a list of prefixes describing the sources of the observations to be used observationPrefixes = ['NASATeam', 'Bootstrap'] # arrange subplots vertically? vertical = False # observations files concentrationNASATeamSH_DJF = SSMI/NASATeam_NSIDC0051/SSMI_NASATeam_gridded_concentration_SH_djf.interp0.5x0.5_20180710.nc concentrationNASATeamSH_JJA = SSMI/NASATeam_NSIDC0051/SSMI_NASATeam_gridded_concentration_SH_jja.interp0.5x0.5_20180710.nc concentrationBootstrapSH_DJF = SSMI/Bootstrap_NSIDC0079/SSMI_Bootstrap_gridded_concentration_SH_djf.interp0.5x0.5_20180710.nc concentrationBootstrapSH_JJA = SSMI/Bootstrap_NSIDC0079/SSMI_Bootstrap_gridded_concentration_SH_jja.interp0.5x0.5_20180710.nc The option ``minimumLatitude`` determines what the northernmost latitude (in degrees) included in the plot will be. The option ``referenceLongitude`` defines which longitude will be at the bottom of the plot. By default, plots are produced comparing modeled sea ice concentration against both observations produced with both the ``NasaTeam`` and ``Bootstrap`` algorithms. By altering ``observationPrefixes``, you can select only one (or none) of these. 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). The ability to modify observations files pointed to by ``concentrationNASATeamSH_DJF``, ``concentrationNASATeamSH_JJA``, ``concentrationBootstrapSH_DJF`` and ``concentrationBootstrapSH_JJA`` is provided for debugging purposes and these options should typically remain unchanged.
