Declaration

 overlayGeostrophicKineticPotentialRatioContours(self,options)

Parameters

• self WVDiagnostics object
• options.ratios vector of ratio levels to contour (default: [.25 .5 .75])
• options.lineWidth contour line width (default: 1)
• options.textColor color for contour labels (default: [0.7 0.7 0.7])
• options.labelSpacing label spacing passed to clabel (default: 1000)

Discussion

Adds contours showing the local ratio KE_g/(KE_g+PE_g) on the current axes. Useful to indicate balanced vs unbalanced regions on energy-spectrum plots.

            - Returns: None. Draws contours on the current axes.
