+#This file lists out variable-specific defaults
+#for plotting and observations.  These defaults
+#are:
+#
+# PLOTTING:
+#
+# colormap             -> The colormap that will be used for filled contour plots.
+# contour_levels       -> A list of the specific contour values that will be used for contour plots.
+#                         Cannot be used with "contour_levels_range".
+# contour_levels_range -> The contour range that will be used for plots.
+#                         Values are min, max, and stride.  Cannot be used with "contour_levels".
+# diff_colormap        -> The colormap that will be used for filled contour different plots
+# diff_contour_levels  -> A list of the specific contour values thta will be used for difference plots.
+#                         Cannot be used with "diff_contour_range".
+# diff_contour_range   -> The contour range that will be used for difference plots.
+#                         Values are min, max, and stride. Cannot be used with "diff_contour_levels".
+# scale_factor         -> Amount to scale the variable (relative to its "raw" model values).
+# add_offset           -> Amount of offset to add to the variable (relatie to its "raw" model values).
+# new_unit             -> Variable units (if not using the  "raw" model units).
+# mpl                  -> Dictionary that contains keyword arguments explicitly for matplotlib
+#
+# mask                 -> Setting that specifies whether the variable should be masked.
+#                         Currently only accepts "ocean", which means the variable will be masked
+#                         everywhere that isn't open ocean.
+#
+#
+# OBSERVATIONS:
+#
+# obs_file     -> Path to observations file.  If only the file name is given, then the file is assumed to
+#                 exist in the path specified by "obs_data_loc" in the config file.
+# obs_name     -> Name of the observational dataset (mostly used for plotting and generated file naming).
+#                 If this isn't present then the obs_file name is used.
+# obs_var_name -> Variable in the observations file to compare against.  If this isn't present then the
+#                 variable name is assumed to be the same as the model variable name.
+#
+#
+# VECTORS:
+#
+# vector_pair  -> Another variable that when combined with the given variable makes up a vector pair.
+#                 If this default is not present then it is assumed the given variable is not a vector
+#                 component, and will thus be skipped during the vector plotting phase.
+# vector_name  -> The name of the vector the variable is associated with, which will be used to
+#                 title the respective vector plot(s).
+#
+#
+# WEBSITE:
+#
+# category  -> The website category the variable will be placed under.
+#
+#
+# DERIVING:
+#
+# derivable_from -> If not present in the available output files, the variable can be derived from
+#                   other variables that are present (e.g. PRECT can be derived from PRECC and PRECL),
+#                   which are specified in this list
+#                   NOTE: this is not very flexible at the moment! It can only handle variables that
+#                         are sums of the constituents. Futher flexibility is being explored.
+#
+#
+# Final Note:  Please do not modify this file unless you plan to push your changes back to the ADF repo.
+#              If you would like to modify this file for your personal ADF runs then it is recommended
+#              to make a copy of this file, make modifications in that copy, and then point the ADF to
+#              it using the "defaults_file" config variable.
