Rotating globe plot.

Parameters

  • da (DataArray) – Data to be plotted.

  • fig (Figure) – Figure to plot on.

  • timestamp (int) – Used to select the animation frame using isel() with dimension framedim.

  • framedim (str) – Dimension name along which frames will be generated.

  • plotmethod (str, optional) – Method of xarray.DataArray.plot to use.

  • plot_variable (str, optional) – Variable to plot. Not needed for DataArray.

  • overlay_variables – Currently unused.

  • lon_start (float) – Central longitude at the beginning of the animation.

  • lon_rotations (float) – Number of longitude rotations to be completed in the animation.

  • lat_start (float) – As in lon_start.

  • lat_rotations (float) – As in lon_rotations.

  • land (bool) – Plot the land.

  • gridlines (bool) – Plot lat/lon gridlines.

  • coastline (bool) – Plot the coastlines.

  • style ({'standard', 'dark'})

  • debug (bool) – Currently unused.

  • **kwargs – Passed on to the xarray plotting method.
