Support for absminlat #5

Closed zarzycki closed 8 years ago

zarzycki commented 8 years ago

For tracking ETCs, would be nice to recover the old functionality of minlat...

ex: --absminlat 30.0 ---> only keeps detections lat >= abs(30.0)

Note: this would be preferable over filtering by lat in StitchNodes because long-lived TC trajectories (that undergo ET and becomes ETCs) are almost impossible to filter with threshold criteria over X steps unless. A "hard" lat limit does a better job producing a reasonable ETC climatology without having to post-process trajectories to remove storms in the tropics.
