Profile: create the Cartesian Projection

For our vertical profile, we will need :

Have a look at the Subpage Documentation and at the Axis Plotting Documentation, and try to get the 0oC grid line highlighted.

We can pass these arrays to Magics using the minput object . Check the Input Data Documentation for more information about the parameters. Note that we want to use Celsius in our graph...

The mgraph object can then be used to  preform the visualisation. All the parameters can be found in the Graph Plotting Page.

We can pass these arrays to Magics using the minput object . Check the Input Data Documentation for more information about the parameters.

We want to plot these winds as red falgs on the vertical of -20.

The mgraph object can then be used to  preform the visualisation. All the parameters can be found in the Graph Plotting Page.

Do not forget the add a legend with a meaningful text!
