2-D Plot with Latitude, Pressure Level, and other Variables

Hi everyone!

I have been tasked with plotting specific humidity on a 2-D plot that uses latitude as the x-axis and atmospheric pressure level as the y-axis. In essence, specific humidity should be a dotted line that expresses how the variable changes with respect to latitude and pressure level. Am I making this more complicated than it has to be? Any helpful tips on how best to approach the problem?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Here is a 3-D plot I produced using lat, atmospheric pressure, and specific humidity. Unfortunately, I need a 2-D plot with lat and pressure as axes and specific humidity as a dotted line.

Something like contour with a dotted line instead of a solid one?

Hi Walter! Thank you for your question. It can be either/or - it just has to be a line rather than scattered points. My concern is, how do I visualize the line (specific humidity) if my axes are latitude and atmospheric pressure?

[Walter Roberson]

create a grid of humidity based on latitude and pressure, and contour?

Walter, thank you! I ended up using the contour function to keep a few contour lines of specific humidity (g/kg). I appreciate your help! This was the tip I needed! Please take care and stay safe. :)

Thank you to all for your input! The issue was addressed using the contour function and focusing on one contour line of interest.
