.. _task_timeSeriesTemperatureAnomaly: timeSeriesTemperatureAnomaly ============================ An analysis task for plotting a Hovmoller plot (time and depth axes) of the anomaly in ocean potential temperature from a reference year (usully the first year of the simulation). Component and Tags:: component: ocean tags: timeSeries, temperature, publicObs Configuration Options --------------------- The following configuration options are available for this task:: [hovmollerTemperatureAnomaly] ## options related to plotting time series of potential temperature vs. depth # list of regions to plot from the region list in [regions] below regions = ['global'] # Number of points over which to compute moving average(e.g., for monthly # output, movingAveragePoints=12 corresponds to a 12-month moving average # window) movingAveragePoints = 12 # colormap colormapName = balance # color indices into colormapName for filled contours colormapIndices = [0, 28, 57, 85, 113, 142, 170, 198, 227, 255] # colormap levels/values for contour boundaries colorbarLevels = [-1, -0.5, -0.2, -0.05, 0, 0.05, 0.2, 0.5, 1] # contour line levels contourLevels = np.arange(-1.0, 1.26, 0.25) # An optional first year for the tick marks on the x axis. Leave commented out # to start at the beginning of the time series. # firstYearXTicks = 1 # An optional number of years between tick marks on the x axis.
