Objectives

  • Set-up a cartesian projection for the Cross section
  • Configure the axis
  • Load a Netcdf file, and understand the information needed by Magics.
  • Apply a shading
  • Position the legend box
  • Add a text.

Setting of the cartesian projection

We want to show our Cross section in the following cartesian system:

  • The vertical coordinate system is a logarithmic axis from 1000 hPa to 200 hPa.
  • The horizontal coordinate system is a geoline axis from [50oN, 90oE] to  [30oN, 60oE]

Have a look at the  subpage documentation to learn how to setup a cartesian projection .

We just have to add 2 axis (1 vertical, 1 horizontal ) to materialise it on the plot.

Parameters to check
