summaryMOC: Summary of Meridional Overturning Circulation from CESM POP2...

In garciapintado/rdafCESM: Setup and Assimilation of CESM

Description

Get global maximum, global minimum, as well as southward export at South, Equator, and North of Meridional Overtuning Circulation for a requested NetCDF CESM POP2 history file. the default values get values for the atlantic Ocean

Usage

  summaryMOC(fname, dimbounds = NULL, moc_ic = 1, moc_itr = 2, it = NULL,
             fromPlotMOC = FALSE)

Arguments

fname	CHARACTER, input NetCDF file, with path included
dimbounds	list with components lat_aux_grid and moc_z expressing limits in physical units in which values are searched for. Latitude is expressed in degrees, depth is expressed in centimeters
moc_ic	INTEGER, index indicating one out of ["Eulerian Mean","Eddy-Induced (bolus)", "Submeso"]
moc_itr	INTEGER, index indicating one out of ["Global Ocean - Marginal Seas", "Atlantic Ocean + Mediterranean Sea + Labrador Sea + GIN Sea + Arctic Ocean + HudsonBay"]
it	INTEGER, time index for multistep grids. NULL (default) get the mean values over all timesteps available in the netCDF file
fromPlotMOC	plotMOC function shares the loading of the netCDF with this function. This argument is to be set to TRUE only internally when called from plotMOC

Details

The function has default hardcoded values for latitude limits as [0,50] and depth as [500,Inf] meters.

Value

A matrix of MOC values plus corresponding latitude and depth
