plotting script

Sorry for taking so long to review this. I thought it would be helpful to have made some plotting scripts for the simpler tests first so that we could work out what is realistic.
Broadly, could you:
- add to this script to output some initial conditions? I think it would be good to see a grid of the following four initial fields:
(a) T in the lon-lat plane @ 850 hPa, (b) T in the lat-z plane @ lon = 0,
(c) zonal wind in the lon-lat plan @ some appropriate height, (d) zonal wind in the lat-z plane @ lon = 0

Could you fix the typos here? And if you add to this plotting script to include initial fields, you could add a comment about that

Somewhere could you restrict the xticks and yticks on the x and y axes so that they are just the limits of the plotted domain?

I'm actually not personally that keen on these colour schemes (although I know they were used in the original paper!)
How would you feel about 'RdPu' for temperature and RdBu_r for pressure?

If you want a better colour scheme but still want easy comparison to the original paper, you can add contour lines to your plot at the values of the colour increments in the original paper - this way the contour lines should match the colour boundaries from the original paper.

You could use these domain limits to define the xticks and yticks (see comment below)

For the plot that we're adding here, I think you want -1, and something separate for the initial conditions

Is the temperature field actually at 850hPa? I think I'm missing where the interpolation to get that is! It looks like we are taking the surface values

We could add the data format argument here, as for pressure I don't think we want to label the plot to so many significant figures
