+climatologyMapSeaIceAlbedoNH
+==========================
+
+An analysis task for plotting maps of Arctic sea ice broadband albedo.
+Care must be taken when evaluating albedo - long-time averages do not
+make a lot of sense, especially when the sun is below the horizon for
+part of the averaging period and albedo is not well-defined.
+
+Component and Tags::
+
+  component: seaIce
+  tags: climatology, horizontalMap, seaIceBroadbandAlbedo, publicObs, snow
+
+Configuration Options
+---------------------
+
+The following configuration options are available for this task::
+
+  [climatologyMapSeaIceAlbedoNH]
+  ## options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
+  ## sea ice broadband albedo against control model results and observations
+  ## in the northern hemisphere (NH)
+
+  # colormap for model/observations
+  colormapNameResult = lapaz
+  # whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
+  colormapTypeResult = indexed
+  # color indices into colormapName for filled contours
+  colormapIndicesResult = [20, 80, 110, 140, 170, 200, 230, 255]
+  # colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
+  colorbarLevelsResult = [0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.95, 0.98, 1.0]
+
+  # colormap for differences
+  colormapNameDifference = balance
+  # whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
+  colormapTypeDifference = indexed
+  # color indices into colormapName for filled contours
+  colormapIndicesDifference = [0, 32, 64, 96, 112, 128, 128, 144, 160, 192, 224, 255]
+  # colormap levels/values for contour boundaries
+  colorbarLevelsDifference = [-1., -0.8, -0.6, -0.4, -0.2, -0.1, 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.]
+
+  # Times for comparison
+  seasons =  ['FM', 'ON']
+
+  # comparison grid(s) (typically 'arctic_extended') on which to plot analysis
+  comparisonGrids = ['arctic_extended']
+
+  # reference lat/lon for sea ice plots in the northern hemisphere
+  minimumLatitude = 50
+  referenceLongitude = 0
+
+  # arrange subplots vertically?
+  vertical = False
+
+The option ``minimumLatitude`` determines what the southernmost latitude (in
+degrees) included in the plot will be.  The option ``referenceLongitude``
+defines which longitude will be at the bottom of the plot.
+
+The option ``vertical = True`` can be used to plot 3 panels one above another
+(resulting in a tall, thin image) rather than next to each other, the default
+(resulting in a short, wide image).
