mjo_wavenum_freq_season_plot

Plot wavenumber-frequency spectra as returned by mjo_wavenum_freq_season.

Available in version 5.1.0 and later.

Arguments

A two dimensional variable array containing wavenumber-frequency as returned by mjo_wavenum_freq_season. Nominally: (wavenumber,frequency).

Name of the season ["winter", "summer", "annual" ]. This will be used in the default plot title and be appended to the output graphic.

The directory to which the output will be directed. diro="./" means the current directory.

The directory to which the output will be directed. diro="./" means the current directory.

Graphical type to be generated: "png", "x11", "ps", "eps", "pdf", "ncgm".

The name associated with the generated graphic. If opt=False, the function will operate under default mode regardless of any attributes associated with the variable.

If opt=True, then the following attributes, associated with opt, may be used to alter the default behavior.

opt@maxWavePlot: If present, this specifies the maximum wavenumber to plot on the "y-axis". Default is 6.

opt@minFreqPlot: If present, this specifies the minimum frequency to plot on the "x-axis". Default is -0.05.

opt@maxFreqPlot: If present, this specifies the maximum frequency to plot on the "x-axis". Default is 0.05.

opt@pltColorTable - If opt=True and this attribute is present, then this attribute will specify color table to be used. Currently, the color table prcp_2 is the default.

opt@tiMainString: If present, this specifies the title given to the plot. Default is the name of the season.

opt@gsnLeftString: If present, this specifies the left substring. Default is the long_name of the variable (if present).

opt@gsnCenterString: If present, this specifies the center substring. Default (not used).

opt@gsnRightString: If present, this specifies the right substring. Default (not used).

opt@smth9: If present and set to True, a local nine-point spatial smoother (see: smth9) will be applied. Default is no smoothing.

opt@dayLines: If present, it must be a one-dimensional array of length two containing the day numbers at which vertical lines are drawn. For example, opt@dayLines=(/25,90/) would result in lines drawn at frequencies corresponding to 25 and 90 days. The default values are (/30,80/) to match the official US-CLIVAR MJO diagnostics website . This option was introduced with NCL version 5.1.1.

Description

This implements the specifications of MJO CLIVAR for lagged wavenumber-frequency spectra.
