Static Sectors in GeoIPS

A static sector is a YAML-based GeoIPS plugin that defines the geographic region for which data will be plotted. Static sectors provide information to GeoIPS about how to plot data in a particular geographic area, including the location, projection, and resolution of the data. Static sectors, unlike dynamic sectors, do not calculate any location information at runtime.

GeoIPS has many built-in static sectors covering regions across the globe.

See the static sector tutorial for instruction on setting up a new static sector.

Static sectors are defined in a YAML file, as shown in the tutorial above. They are then included as arguments at the command line. For example:

--sector_list conus

Note that GeoIPS can run the same product for multiple geographic sectors by passing multiple sectors to the sector_list argument:

--sector_list conus canada
