global_time_series — Global Time Series Plots

The global_time_series task generates global time series plots of key climate metrics. It can optionally produce a Viewer page. It depends on the ts — Time Series Files task (for atmospheric, land, and ocean global-mean time series) and optionally on mpas_analysis — Ocean and Sea-Ice Analysis (for ocean and sea-ice plots).

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Default	Description
active	No	False	Set to True to enable this task.
ts_years	No	[""]	Year ranges for the time-series sub-runs to depend on.
climo_years	No	[""]	Year ranges for climatology data (if needed).
color	No	"Blue"	Color used for the plots.
experiment_name	No	""	Label displayed on the plots.
figstr	No	""	Prefix for output figure file names.
make_viewer	No	False	Set to True to construct a Viewer page with extended plots.
regions	No	"glb,n,s"	Regions to plot: glb (global), n (northern hemisphere), s (southern hemisphere).
input_subdir	No	"archive/ocn/hist"	Subdirectory with ocean data. Overrides the [default] value.
moc_file	No	""	Path to the MOC file (for the max_moc plot). Only needed when make_viewer = False.
mpas_analysis_subsections	No	[""]	Names of [mpas_analysis] subtasks to depend on. Leave empty if no subsections are defined.
plots_original	No	"net_toa_flux_restom,..."	Names of the standard plots to generate when make_viewer = False. Available plots and their variable requirements: net_toa_flux_restom — requires RESTOM net_atm_energy_imbalance — requires RESTOM, RESSURF global_surface_air_temperature — requires TREFHT toa_radiation — requires FSNTOA, FLUT net_atm_water_imbalance — requires PRECC, PRECL, QFLX change_ohc — requires ocean data max_moc — requires ocean MOC data change_sea_level — requires ocean data Remove the three ocean plots if you don’t have ocean data.
plots_atm	No	""	Extra atmosphere plots (when make_viewer = True). These should be a subset of the variables from ts global subtasks.
plots_lnd	No	""	Extra land plots (when make_viewer = True). Set to "all" to include every variable in the land CSV file.
plots_ocn	No	""	Extra ocean plots (when make_viewer = True).
plots_ice	No	""	Extra sea-ice plots (when make_viewer = True).
