The Spectra editor belongs to a type of editor known as family editor which allows related sets of input specifications to be grouped in the same icon editor, each in its own tabbed pane. The available working input panes are :
Spec Graph - To plot a graph of log/linear amplitude against log/linear n, where n is the Legendre polynomial order
Spec Contour (not available yet) - To plot a map contour plot of amplitude against wave number and forecast length
To operate with this icon first you need to select which output you want to produce by clicking the tab of the corresponding pane. Each input pane contains a different set of parameters, with some in common.
Specifies the data required for the application. The assist button provides a tailor made MARS request in case you need some guidance in the data specification.
Specifies whether to subtract the diurnal cycle. Yes to subtract, No otherwise.
Specifies the highest wave number in spectra plots.
Specifies whether to smooth the plot curve(s). Yes to smooth, No otherwise.
Specifies the smoothing interpolation. Only Spline is currently available.
Specifies whether to plot values only every 24 hours. Yes for only every 24 hours, No otherwise.
Specifies the search radius for plotting of high/low markers.
