.. _task_climatologyMapCustom:

climatologyMapCustom
====================

An analysis task for plotting custom climatologies at various depths. This task
can plot both 2D and 3D variables on cells, the latter with both
``nVertlevels`` -- layer centers -- or ``nVertLevelsP1`` -- layer interfaces
-- as the vertical dimension. The task is designed to be highly coustomizable
via config sections and options, as described below.

Component and Tags::

component: ocean
tags: climatology, horizontalMap

Configuration Options
---------------------

The following configuration options are available for this task::

[climatologyMapCustom]
## options related to plotting climatology maps of any field at various depths
## (if they include a depth dimension) without observatons for comparison

# comparison grid(s)
comparisonGrids = ['latlon']

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

# list of depths in meters (positive up) at which to analyze, 'top' for the
# sea surface, 'bot' for the sea floor
depths = ['top', -200, -400, -600, -800, -1000, -1500, -2000, 'bot']

# a list of variables available to plot. New variables can be added as long
# as they correspond to a single field already found in MPAS-Ocean's
# timeSeriesStatsMonthly output. Add the 'name', 'title', 'units' (with $$
# instead a single dollar sign for the config parser), and 'mpas'(the
# timeSeriesStatsMonthly variable name as a single-item list) entries for each
# variable. Then, add a section below climatologyMapCustom<VariableName> with
# the colormap settings for that variable.

There is a section for options that apply to all custom climatology maps and
one each for any available variables to plot.

The option ``availableVariables`` is a dictionary with the names of the
variables available to plot as keys and dictionaries with the title, units,
and MPAS variable name(s) as values. New entries can be added as long as they
correspond to a single field already found in MPAS-Ocean's
``timeSeriesStatsMonthly`` output. For each variable, a section with the name
``climatologyMapCustom<VariableName>`` should be added with the colormap
settings for that variable, see :ref:`config_colormaps` for details.

The option ``depths`` is a list of (approximate) depths at which to sample
the potential temperature field. A value of ``'top'`` indicates the sea
surface (or the ice-ocean interface under ice shelves) while a value of
``'bot'`` indicates the seafloor.

By default, no fields are plotted. A user can select which fields to plot by
adding the desired field names to the ``variables`` list.

For more details, see:
* :ref:`config_colormaps`
* :ref:`config_seasons`
* :ref:`config_comparison_grids`
