plotting.global_latlon_vect_map module

scripts.plotting.global_latlon_vect_map.global_latlon_vect_map(adfobj)[source]

This script/function is designed to generate global 2-D lat/lon maps of model vector fields with continental overlays. Description of needed inputs from ADF: case_name -> Name of CAM case provided by “cam_case_name”. model_rgrid_loc -> Location of re-gridded CAM climo files provided by “cam_regrid_loc”. data_name -> Name of data set CAM case is being compared against,

which is always either “obs” or the baseline CAM case name, depending on whether “compare_obs” is true or false.

data_loc -> Location of comparison data, which is either “obs_data_loc”

or “cam_baseline_climo_loc”, depending on whether “compare_obs” is true or false.

var_list -> List of CAM output variables provided by “diag_var_list” data_list -> List of data sets CAM will be compared against, which

is simply the baseline case name in situations when “compare_obs” is false.

plot_location -> Location where plot files will be written to, which is

specified by “cam_diag_plot_loc”.

climo_yrs -> Dictionary containing the start and end years of the test

and baseline model data (if applicable).

variable_defaults -> optional,

Dict that has keys that are variable names and values that are plotting preferences/defaults.
