I want to use the "fill" command to make a Hovmoller
plot over the course of the year for a climatological
variable. By default, ferret doesn't interpolate over the
end-of-year break, leaving white space for the first half
of January and the last half of December when using
monthly data. This doesn't look great for a published
figure. Is there a good way to ensure that data is
plotted there?
One thing that I tried was to define the timespan and the
hlimit to get ferret to plot that time of the year as well
(e.g.
fill/lin/key/t=1-dec-1599:1-feb-1601/hl=1-jan-1600:1-jan-1601
t_ref[d=1,x=@ave]). This fixes my first problem, but
introduces a new one: all latitudes where the color of the
plot doesn't change over the course of the year are
plotted white. I assume the problem is because the left
and right "edges" of the data are outside of the plot, but
I'm not sure how to fix it. I've attached a figure to
show what I mean. The plot on the left is default ferret
behavior. The plot on the right is my attempt to fix it,
but with the horizontal white bands.
Is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
