Muller 2022 Plate model

[ARutson]

Hello All, The plate model for Muller2022 and Merdith2021 from the datacentre come out as the same (see first 2 Images), with some variations in how they get the coastline, continent, and CoB polygons.

There are additional rotation files in the earthbyte model downloads for Muller2022, with an optimised Merdith2021 and a no-net rotation.rot files (see Image 3 and 4 respectively). Looking at the Muller 2022 paper, it looks like the optimised Merdith2021 is the one they use to produce the images in their paper.

Hi @ARutson ,

We have updated the Muller2022 model. Could you please send us the code to plot the above maps? We would like to do some testings before closing this Issue. Thanks.

Hi @michaelchin ,

Sorry for the delay. Here s the script for generating the images above. For the local file names I've renamed the directory paths so you can enter your own into it, if needs be.
