The commands that produce these diagrams:

1^st step: The command that computes the statistics NetCDF file (TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.nc)

>>> python model_vs_data_comp_stat.py -oTAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.nc -tTAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.txt /home/geocean/ocmip/data/gridded/taka2001/TAKA_fco2_2002.nc FCO2 "/home/geocean/ocmip/phase2/%(MODEL)/Abiotic/hist/%(model)_TAKA_Ftot_1995_drift.nc" FTOT

This command also produces a text file containing all the statistics (TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.txt).

2^nd step: The commands that read the statistics file and produce the Taylor diagrams, above

Main Taylor diagram >>> python plot_taylor_diagrams.py -i40 -t "Model/Takahashi Sea-Air CO2 flux comparison" -pbrd -o TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/ TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.nc This command results in 8 diagrams (in 8 files): the main one, as above, plus 7 ones for different statistical components.

Multi-component Taylor diagram >>> python plot_taylor_diagrams.py -i32 -t "Model/Takahashi Sea-Air CO2 flux comparison" -sp -C1,7,2,4 -o TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.ps TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat/TAKA_FCO2_comp_stat.nc

Note that, though we specify the diagram title, some other meta-information (units) is extracted from the data or model output files.
The model list and their code letter are extracted from a miscellaneous file: model_dictionary.py.
