oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel.get_monthly_mb

MassBalanceModel.get_monthly_mb(heights, year=None)

Monthly mass-balance at given altitude(s) for a moment in time.

Units: [m s-1], or meters of ice per second

Note: year is optional because some simpler models have no time component.

Parameters:

heights: ndarray

the atitudes at which the mass-balance will be computed

year: float, optional

the time (in the “hydrological floating year” convention)

Returns:

the mass-balance (same dim as heights) (units: [m s-1])
