This repository contains the MATLAB scripts used in the paper "Evaluating Monin-Obukhov Scaling in the Unstable Oceanic Surface Layer", J. Phys. Oceanogr., doi:10.1175/JPO-D-20-0201.1.
You can reach me at zhihua@uw.edu for questions related to the usage of this code.
This set of scripts fufills the analysis presented in our paper in three steps:
- Load and process original data
- Calculate key parameters
- Produce figures
This code is tested in MATLAB R2019b.
It also uses some external toolboxes/functions, as listed below:
- Gibbs-SeaWater (GSW) Oceanographic Toolbox
- Air-sea toolbox
- cbrewer
- Custom Colormap
- RGB
- MarkerTransparency
- suplabel
- tight_subplot
The data used in this work are mostly publicly available (see the "Data availability statement" in our paper). For convience, a copy of the original data can be downloaded either from this Google Drive link, or from the most recent release of this repository.
