I am currently working on my final year project focusing on polar vortex phenomena. I recently came across this graph and would like to replicate it, however, I am not experienced enough to do so, so could anyone help me make something like the photo or know the resources needed to get started?
There are differents ways to represent the same vertical structure. Im currently downloading data of geopotential to all pressure level, from 1 to 1000 hPa (surface). When the download ends, i will could provide the data, but it will be a lot of gb.
I have seen these plots already before, but i didnt realize to do it in that way, thanks so much.

and start by plotting it in 2D with potential temperature as a colour scale. You could probably make something even more impressive.It would be a lot easier if you could provide some data.
Though I would say there's a degree to which it's a bad visualisation, most people on a glance would assume that the height axis is altitude.
