For these tasks, use the metview icons in the row labelled 'Analysis'

an_1x1.mv : this plots horizontal maps of parameters from the ECMWF analyses overlaid on one plot.

an_xs.mv : this plots vertical cross-sections of parameters from the ECMWF analyses.

Wind fields are normally plotted as coloured arrows. To plot them as wind barbs add the suffix 'f.flag'. e.g. wind10f "wind10.flag" will plot 10m wind as barbs.

Panel
titlePlot mslp and z500

With the edit window open, find the line that defines 'plot1':

Code Block
languagebash
#Define plot list (min 1- max 4)
plot1=["mslp"]                      # use square brackets when overlaying multiple fields per plot

Change this line to:

Code Block
plot1=["mslpz500.s","z500"]mslp"]

The suffix '.s' means plot the 500hPa geopotential as a shaded plot instead of using contours (this style is not available for all fields)

As above, click the play button and then animate the map that appears.

...

The 'an_2x2.mv' icon allows for plotting up to 4 separate figures on a single frame. This task uses this icon to plot multiple fields.

As before, rightRight-click on the 'an_2x2.mv' icon and select the 'Edit' menu item.
