jLab v1.7.1
Changes new in version 1.7.1
Code in support of three new publications, see JLAB_MAKEFIGS:
Lilly and Perez-Brunius (2021b). Extracting statistically significant
eddy signals from large Lagrangian datasets, with application to
the Gulf of Mexico. In review at Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics.

the Gulf of Mexico from consolidated drifter measurements.
In press at Earth Science System Data.

griddrifters - Average drifter velocities onto a space/time 3D grid.
Other new functions:
spheretrans - Wavelet transform for oscillations on the surface of a sphere.
ridgemult - Ridge multiplicity, the number of simultaneous ridges present.
catstruct - Concatenates the array elements of a cell array of structures.
structindex - Applies an index to all array-valued fields in a structure.
mconf - Confidence intervals for the multitaper spectral estimate.
chisquared - The chi-squared distribution.
eddyfit2d - Least squares fit of 2D velocity data to an eddy profile.
simpleddy - Streamfunction, velocity, and vorticity for various eddy profiles.
monthstats - Mean month and standard deviation using circular statistics.
jhanning - Hanning window.
celldot - Dot product for arrays of column vectors.
haxby - The Haxby colormap.
seminfhaxby - The seminf-Haxby colormap.
Updated datasets:
JTOPO global topography is now at 1/12th resolution.
