Omitted ocean regions #12

Open durack1 opened 3 years ago

durack1 commented 3 years ago

Hi folks, I am curious if an update has been made to the region map to more clearly delineate the ocean regions so for e.g. the Indian Ocean portion of the Southern Ocean, and ditto for the Atlantic and Pacific. When using these regions and plotting the Indian Ocean for e.g. you omit the entire ocean section south of ~35S, which means you're missing ~30 degrees of the ocean.

Also wondering about the ocean regions omitted in the North Atlantic (around Iceland, between Greenland and Sweden/Norway) and the ocean region between Australia and New Zealand?

Hi Paul, if you are using a particular set of ocean regions (e.g. defined via shapefiles) if would be good to know so we could use this for the analysis of oceanic data. The reference regions are not well suited for this.
