Description of variables in the namelist:


 
LW1
integer
line width for the first plot; 1000 is the thinnest
 
LW2
integer
line width for the overlay plot
 
DASH1
integer
dash pattern for the first plot; standard NCAR GKS method. A `-' before a number means contour of positive values is solid, negative values is dashed
682: shorter-dashed line
2730: short-dashed line
3640: medium-dashed line
4092: long-dashed line
DASH2
integer
dash pattern for the overlay plot
 
COLOR1
integer
color index for the first contour plot, labeled lines
 
COLOR2
integer
color index for the overlay plot, labeled lines
 
COLOR3
integer
color index for a dot-point plot, labeled lines
 
COLOR4
integer
color index for the first contour plot, unlabeled lines
 
COLOR5
integer
color index for the overlay plot, unlabeled lines
 
COLOR6
integer
color index for a dot-point plot, unlabeled lines
 
HDRINFO
logical
T: will only print record header
 
LOGP
integer
for cross section plots: whether the vertical coordinate is plotted in linear p (LOGP=0), or log p (LOGP=1)
 
XPTOP
real
top of a cross section plot (in mb)
 
ICONDRV logical use CONDRV or CONREC
 
LMETH integer if condrv, which contouring method
 
LEVELS integer if condrv, specify increment, highest level, lowest level
 
LABLINE
integer
=0: no contour line labels
 
LABMESG
integer
=1: no message below conrec plot
 
NOZERO
integer
=1: no min/max zero line; =2: no zero line whatsoever
 
IHIRES
integer
=1: use high resolution US county/Asia coastline
 

To use higher resolution US county lines or Asia coastline, set IHIRES=1, and name the outline file to be hipone.ascii. These files may be downloaded from ftp://ftp.ucar.edu/mesouser/Data/GRAPH directory.
