Atmospheric Science Research

Keep the control plane small: choose one mode, load only the needed references, and keep compute separate from plotting.

Goal

Create a scientifically rigorous, visually appealing, and informative figure suitable for publication in a top-tier atmospheric science journal.

Choose a mode first:

use Full for a new project, new dataset, new processing method, or any task that may change the scientific conclusion
use Execute-lite for a constrained patch to labels, ticks, units, legends, panel letters, colors, levels, spacing, filenames, or export settings; rerender the affected outputs, then continue into RR
use RR-only when the task is to inspect or revise existing figure outputs; stay in RR until the result is PASS or BLOCKED
if the science-change boundary is unclear after a light inspection, use Full
