An analysis task for comparison of global maps of surface mass fluxes. No observational products are currently available.

Component and Tags:

component: ocean
tags: climatology, horizontalMap, fluxes, mass

Configuration Options

The following configuration options are available for climatologyMapMassFluxes and similarly for climatologyMapHeatFluxes:

[climatologyMapMassFluxes]

# colormap for model
colormapNameResult = balance
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeResult = continuous
# color indices into colormapName for filled contours
colormapIndicesResult = [0, 40, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
# colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
colorbarLevelsResult = [-2, 0, 2, 6, 10, 16, 22, 26, 28, 32]
# the type of norm used in the colormap
normTypeResult = symLog
# A dictionary with keywords for the norm
normArgsResult = {'vmin': -1e-3, 'vmax': 1e-3, 'linthresh': 1e-6}

# colormap for differences
colormapNameDifference = balance
# whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
colormapTypeDifference = continuous
# 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 = [-5, -3, -2, -1, -0.1, 0, 0.1, 1, 2, 3, 5]
# the type of norm used in the colormap
normTypeDifference = symLog
# A dictionary with keywords for the norm
normArgsDifference = {'vmin': -1e-3, 'vmax': 1e-3, 'linthresh': 1e-6}

variables = ['riverRunoffFlux', 'iceRunoffFlux', 'snowFlux', 'rainFlux', 'evaporationFlux', 'seaIceFreshWaterFlux', 'landIceFreshwaterFlux']

seasons =  ['JFM', 'JAS', 'ANN']

# comparison grid(s) on which to plot analysis
comparisonGrids = ['latlon', 'arctic', 'antarctic']

By default, a “preindustrial” climatology is computed for comparison with the model results. For simulations covering a different time period, the range of years (obsStartYear and obsEndYear) should be updated.

For details on the remaining configuration options, see:

• Seasons
