woa_domain_plot(variable,time,region)
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].
