oggm.tasks.compute_downstream_bedshape

oggm.tasks.compute_downstream_bedshape(gdir)[source]

The bedshape obtained by fitting a parabola to the line’s normals. Also computes the downstream’s altitude.

Parameters:

gdir : oggm.GlacierDirectory

Returns:

Files writen to the glacier directory:

downstream_line.pkl

A dict containing the downsteam line geometry as well as the bedshape computed from a parabolic fit.
