+climatologyMapSeaIceMeltingNH
+==========================
+
+An analysis task for plotting maps of Arctic sea ice melting.
+
+Component and Tags::
+
+  component: seaIce
+  tags: climatology, horizontalMap, seaIceMelting, publicObs
+
+Configuration Options
+---------------------
+
+The following configuration options are available for this task::
+
+  [climatologyMapSeaIceMeltingNH]
+  # options related to plotting horizontally remapped climatologies of
+  # sea ice melting against control model results and observations
+  # in the northern hemisphere (NH)
+
+  # colormap for model/observations
+  colormapNameResult = amp
+  # whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
+  colormapTypeResult = continuous
+  # the type of norm used in the colormap
+  normTypeResult = linear
+  # A dictionary with keywords for the norm
+  normArgsResult = {'vmin': 0., 'vmax': 5.}
+  # place the ticks automatically by default
+  # colorbarTicksResult = numpy.linspace(-2., 2., 9)
+
+  # colormap for differences
+  colormapNameDifference = balance
+  # whether the colormap is indexed or continuous
+  colormapTypeDifference = continuous
+  # the type of norm used in the colormap
+  normTypeDifference = linear
+  # A dictionary with keywords for the norm
+  normArgsDifference = {'vmin': -3., 'vmax': 3.}
+  # place the ticks automatically by default
+  colorbarTicksDifference = [-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3]
+
+  # Times for comparison times
+  seasons =  ['ANN', 'DJF', 'JJA']
+
+  # comparison grid(s) ('latlon', 'antarctic') on which to plot analysis
+  comparisonGrids = ['latlon']
+
+  # 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 northernmost 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).
+
+For details on the remaining configration options, see:
+ * :ref:`config_colormaps`
+ * :ref:`config_seasons`
+ * :ref:`config_comparison_grids`

+
+The option ``minimumLatitude`` determines what the northernmost latitude (in

+defines which longitude will be at the bottom of the plot.
+
+By default, plots are produced comparing modeled sea ice melting against
+``AnIceFlux`` (annual climatology only).
+
+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
