A novel approach to diagnosing Southern Hemisphere planetary wave activity and its influence on regional climate variability: supplementary metadata

This page contains supplementary material relating to the following paper:

Irving D, Simmonds I (2015). A novel approach to diagnosing Southern Hemisphere planetary wave activity and its influence on regional climate variability. Journal of Climate. 28, 9041-9057. doi:10.1175/JCLI-D-15-0287.1

In particular, it contains metadata files (.met) for each of the figures in that paper, outlining the history of command line entries that were executed from initial data download right up to the generation of the figure. A snapshot of the code repository referred to in those .met files is also included (github_DamienIrving-climate-analysis.zip), however readers are encouraged to view that code at the GitHub repository linked to below instead (because then they can view an entire revision history of the code instead of just an instantaneous snapshot). It should be noted that it is my daily repository, meaning there is code in there that does not directly relate to the paper - the .met files explain which code is relevant.

The motivation for this approach to publishing reproducible computational research is outlined at:
