This package contains colormaps for commonly-used oceanographic variables. Most of the colormaps started from `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_ colormaps, but have now been adjusted using the `viscm tool <https://github.com/BIDS/viscm>`_ to be `perceptually uniform <http://bids.github.io/colormap/>`_.

The *curl* colormap is diverging from darker teal to just off-white through shades of magenta and could be used to represent diverging vorticity values around a critical value (usually zero). An example of this colormap is from a numerical simulation of the Texas and Louisiana shelf.

The *tarn* colormap is diverging, with one side dry shades of browns and the other a range of greens and blues. The positive end of the colormap is meant to reflect the colors in *rain* and thus be a complementary colormap to *rain* for rain anomaly (around 0 or some other critical value).
