# smc_anom_1D-2D_1979-2012_6levels_Africa_v2.py

# This Python2.7 code was used on CEDA JASMIN to produce monthly
# animation frames for an animated gif that was then made into an MP4
# for showing the seasonal anomaly of soil moisture
# over Africa from 1979-2012
# using (as input) monthly-averaged JULES land-only 1D data.
# This Python2.7 code was adapted from the code given in Emma Robinson’s
# data visualization tutorial for plotting JULES data at http://jules.jchmr.org/content/training .
# The adaptation was done in November-December 2017 by Patrick McGuire and Pier Luigi Vidale
# at the University of Reading (email: p.mcguire@reading.ac.uk )
