Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for this task:

[climatologyMapMLD]
## options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
## mixed layer depth (MLD) against control model results and observations

# colormap for model/observations
colormapNameResult = viridis
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeResult = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesResult = [0, 20, 50, 80, 120, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsResult = [10., 30., 50., 75., 100., 150., 200., 400., 800.]

# colormap for differences
colormapNameDifference = balance
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeDifference = indexed
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesDifference = [0, 28, 57, 85, 113, 128, 128, 142, 170, 198, 227, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsDifference = [-150, -80, -30, -10, -1, 0, 1, 10, 30, 80, 150]

# Months or seasons to plot (Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct,
# Nov, Dec, JFM, AMJ, JAS, OND, ANN)
seasons =  ['JFM', 'JAS', 'ANN']

# comparison grid(s) ('latlon', 'antarctic') on which to plot analysis
