Sample Matlab Script<\/h2>\n

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\n% This is a sample script to generate image files from SST data. %
\n% These can then be combined into a movie file which will run on the %
\n% globe display in the Meteorology Department, University of Reading.%

\n%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<\/p>\n

%% LOAD DATA
\n% Using monthly mean 1x1 degree gridded COBE SST (1891 - near present) as an example.
\n% The dataset is freely available from NOAA (https:\/\/www.esrl.noaa.gov\/psd\/data\/gridded\/data.cobe.html)
\nclear
\nsst=ncread('sst.mon.mean.nc','sst');
\nlat=ncread('sst.mon.mean.nc','lat');
\nlon=ncread('sst.mon.mean.nc','lon');
\ntime=ncread('sst.mon.mean.nc','time');<\/p>\n

% replace land placeholder values in the dataset with NaNs
\nind=find(sst>1e15);
\nsst(ind)=NaN;
\nclear ind<\/p>\n

%% PLOT DATA
\n% This creates a simple contour plot of the SST fields. <\/p>\n

% plot contourlines with 2 degree C spacing
\nc_intervals=[-2:2:32];<\/p>\n

% setup base name of files
\nbasename='pngfiles\/sst_'<\/p>\n

%counter for numbering in filenames
\ncount=0<\/p>\n

% plotting loop (only do 40 years (1977-2016) in this example, too many frames otherwise)
\nfor i=1033:length(time)<\/p>\n

% count files
\n count=count+1<\/p>\n

% setup filename
\n filename=[basename,num2str(count,'%04.0f'),'.png'];<\/p>\n

close all
\n figure(1)
\n contourf(lon,lat,sst(:,:,i)',c_intervals)
\n %colorbar
\n caxis([-2 32])
\n set(gcf,'Colormap',jet)
\n % borderless figure, don't want a grid box or axis labels
\n box off
\n set(gca,'visible','off')
\n % fill entire figure
\n set(gca,'position',[0 0 1 1],'units','normalized')
\n % setup 2:1 axis ratio in figure
\n set(gcf,'Paperunits','points','Papersize',[1400 700],'Paperposition',[0 0 1400 700])
\n % -r sets figure resolution in dpi, test for filesize!
