mjo_cross_plot

Plot coherence-squared and phase spectra as returned by mjo_cross.

Available in version 5.1.0 and later.

Prototype

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"        ; These three libraries are automatically
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"         ; loaded from NCL V6.2.0 onward.
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"     ; No need for user to explicitly load.

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/diagnostics_cam.ncl" ; Still need to load this library.

	procedure mjo_cross_plot (
		x [16][*][*] : numeric,  
		pltDir   [1] : string,   
		pltType  [1] : string,   
		pltName  [1] : string,   
		opt      [1] : logical   
	)

Arguments

A three-dimensional array containing assorted cross spectral quantities as returned by mjo_cross. Nominally: (16,wavenumber,frequency).

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 min/max wavenumber to plot on the "x-axis". Default is 15.

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@txString: If present, this specifies the title given to the plot. There is no default title.

opt@gsnLeftString: If present, this specifies the left substring. Default is the "Coh^2: Symmetric" and "Coh^2: Asymmetric" .

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

opt@gsnRightString: If present, this specifies the right substring. Default is 10% and 5% critical levels. An example: "10%=0.05, 5%=0.20"

opt@gsnPaperOrientation: If present, the specified orientation will be used. Default is "landscape". The option is "portrait".

opt@pltProb: If present, all coherence-squared values less than this will not be plotted. The user may specify any of the following: 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.925, 0.95, 0.99

opt@coh2Cutoff: If present, all coherence-squared values less than this will not be plotted.

Description

This implements the specifications of MJO CLIVAR for cross-spectra in wavenumber-frequency spectra; specifically, the coherence-squared and associated phase relationships.
