Analysis Date:
Valid Input: Any
valid date listed on the form.
Description: Global analysis fields are based on
the latest 10 days of Jason
and T/P, and 17 days of GFO and 35 days of ERS-2 and Envisat sampling,
if available. See Satellite
Dates for more information. Earlier analysis fields, if available,
may be accessed using the pull-down menu.
Plot SSH or Velocity Magnitude:
Valid Input: Integer
values
Description: Surface plot of the velocity magnitude
or the SSH field. This will not effect the velocity vectors,
which will be plotted regardless of the choice here. Also can
define the min and max magnitudes, which will effect the colorbar.
Smoothing Radius:
Valid input: Selection
from puld down menu.
Description:
The raw sea surface height should be smoothed prior to calculating the
velocity vectors. This reduces large anomalous velocities associated
with a
noisy data field. The radius of the smoothing is in kilometers.
Model Mean:
Valid Input: Any
selected radio button
Description: Any selected radio button
Bathymetry:
Valid Input: 0 to
11000
Description: This option provides the capability of
editing data in shallow water from your plot (units are in meters).
Only data in ocean regions deeper than the input value will be plotted
or contoured.
Color Palette:
Valid Input: Color,
Grayscale, None
Description: This
variable defines the color palette to be used in your
plot.
- Color - This uses a continuous rainbow color
palette
between the minimum and maximum range of data values.
- Grayscale - This uses a grayscale color palette
between the minimum and maximum range of data values. Not
implemeted at this time.
- None - This turns all color mapping off.
Plot
Velocity Vectors:
Valid Input: Any
selected radio button
Description:
Choose whether or not to plot the velocity vectors.
Velocity
Vector Color:
Valid Input: Any
selected radio button
Description:
Plot the velocity vectors in black or white.
Velocity
Vector Length:
Valid Input: Any
real positive number
Description:
This is a dimensionless scaling factor that will increase or decrease
the length of the velocity vectors.
Degree Format:
Valid Input: Any
selected radio button
Description: Here
you can choose the output format to be used when
annotating map boundaries. Choose between the four formats:
- Longitudes go from 0 to 360, latitudes from -90 to 90.
- Longitudes go from -180 to 180, latitudes from -90 to 90.
- Longitudes are unsigned 0 to 180, latitudes unsigned 0 to
90.
- Longitudes are unsigned 0 to 180 with letters E or W
appended, latitudes are unsigned 0 to 90 with N or S appended.
File Orientation:
Valid Input: Portrait,
Landscape
Description: Here
you can choose the orientation of the plot on the page.
One orientation may provide a larger plot over the other.
File Format:
Valid Input: PostScript,
GIF
Description: Choose
the type of graphics format you wish to receive.
