Details and instructions on the monthly mean Compositing Page
Page will plot maps or vertical crossections of selected variables. Select desired options and hit "create plot". Most options have a default setting so a selection is not required. Default for year is last year and month available for dataset. You can select one or more years to composite, the season, the type of statistic plotted (mean, anomaly, climatology), variable, level, map color, map location or bounds for vertical composites and contour interval/range. If you have problems, please email with ALL the options you chose.
Please read ALL the instructions. Failure to do so may lead to misinterpretation of results.
