Standard definition of plots for input into AEROCOM surfobs interface

Plot size: width x height ~ 400 x 300 px
Forcing degrades the pictures in the interface. [IDL programs should open the plot window with window, 0, xsize=400, ysize=300]

Plot name has to look like this:  P_S_Y_M_ST_TYP.png
[Picture can be of type .gif  as long as the size is 400x300, but the name should end with .png]
Choose combination from the table below. Upper/lower case makes a difference. No blank spaces in the name, no underscores allowed in the elements of the name.
You can use this routine (in perl) or this routine (in Unix) to rename old plots accordingly.
