Syntax

woa_domain_plot(variable,time,region)

Description

woa_domain_plot(variable,time,region) plots all depth levels of World Ocean Atlas 2018 Statistical Mean for All Decades, Objectively Analyzed Mean Fields at Standard Depth Levels over the specified region. variable specifies the parameter to be plotted and region is the rectangular region to be plotted. time specifies monthly or annual climatology; time = '00' for annual climatology and '01' '10' etc. for monthly climatology. The function builds the url, extracting the maximum resolution available (typically 0.25-deg or 1.00-degree grid).

Available variables are:

'temperature' (degrees Celsius)
'salinity' (psu)
'oxygen' (umol/kg)
'o2sat' (%)

'AOU' (umol/kg)
'silicate' (umol/kg)
'phosphate' (umol/kg)
'nitrate' (umol/kg)

time is a string or character array. '00' is annual climatology, while other codes e.g. '02' (February) or '11' (November) indicate monthly climatology.

variable is a string or character array and is the name of the parameter to be plotted.

region is a vector containing the bounds [S N W E] of the region to be plotted, -180/180 or 0/360 longtitude format is fine. Limits may cross the dateline e.g. [35 45 170 -130].

Example 1

% Setup nctoolbox:

setup_nctoolbox

% Plot a 3-D nitrate domain:

variable = 'nitrate';
time = '03';
region = [-5.0, 45.0 ,-120, -150]; 
woa_domain_plot(variable,time,region)
