Generates a curtain plot comparing model data with obs across altitude (Pressure, right now) over time, with the ability to customize the appearance through a configuration dictionary. ##Two Subplots: 1) model data contourf plot with model scatter overlay, 2) another for observation data using scatter plot. This layout ensures that both datasets can be analyzed without visual interference from each other. Shared X-Axis: The time axis is shared between the two plots for better comparison. Titles and Labels: Each subplot has a title specific to the data it displays.
