Mercator Projection

For this example we want to make a color map comparison between the edr run ID and CanESM2 for the atmospheric surface temperature climatology between 1980 and 1995.

First use the command:

validate-configure

Then edit the conf.yaml file to the following:

run: 'edr'
experiment: 'historical'

defaults:
            dates:
              start_date: '1980-01'
              end_date: '1995-01'
            png: True

plots:
        - variable: 'tas'
          plot_projection: 'mercator'
          data_type: 'climatology'
          comp_models:
            - CanESM2

delete:
          del_netcdf: False
          del_mask: True
          del_ncstore: True
          del_cmipfiles: False

direct_data_root: '/raid/rc40/data/ncs/historical-edr'
observations_root: '/raid/rc40/data/ncs/obs4comp'
cmip5_root: '/raid/ra40/CMIP5_OTHER_DOWNLOADS/'

Save the file and then use the command:

validate-configure
