Separate Color Bar for Temperature and Precipitation Forecast

[Muhammad Azhar Ehsan]

For temperature and precipitation probability forecast, the color bar has a different meaning (Attached is the Figure).

We need to introduce an IF statement for the color bar, to take the right color bar for the respective variable.

This issue was noticed during ACTODAY Bangladesh temperature work, but this is common for all.

This is to say that:

1. Temperature Probabilistic Forecasts, Above Normal should be red/orange and below normal should be blue
2. Temperature Deterministic Forecasts: Hotter should be brown colder should be blue ( Or, we can use a difference colorscheme; please suggest somethign)
3. Precip Probabilistic and Deterministic should stay as they ar

Is that correct?

Temperature Probabilistic Forecasts, Above Normal should be red/orange and below normal should be blue

This is correct

Temperature Deterministic Forecasts: Hotter should be brown colder should be blue ( Or, we can use a difference colorscheme; please suggest somethign)

For deterministic total temperature field we should use sequential color scheme rather than diverging. Use Oranges color scheme for temperature and

Precip Probabilistic and Deterministic should stay as they are

Blues or Greens (seq) for total precipitation field. Brown to Green (div) color scheme is good for precipitation anomalies. Currently we are plotting total precipitation field so any of blues of Greens will work.

Kyle, has this been resolved?

I made a PR (https://bitbucket.org/py-iri/iri-pycpt/pull-requests/43) but never got approval to merge. At this point it’s so out of date I would just re-do it all from a fresh branch. The BMD DL is back up so I that part would be unnecessary.
