Example of a Polar Stereographic Plot

Demonstrates plotting data that are defined on a polar stereographic projection.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import iris
import iris.plot as iplt
import iris.quickplot as qplt


def main():
    file_path = iris.sample_data_path("toa_brightness_stereographic.nc")
    cube = iris.load_cube(file_path)
    qplt.contourf(cube)
    ax = plt.gca()
    ax.coastlines()
    ax.gridlines()
    iplt.show()
