MassBalanceModel.
get_monthly_mb
(heights, year=None, fl_id=None)[source]¶ 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)
- fl_id: float, optional
the index of the flowline in the fls array (might be ignored by some MB models)
Returns: - the mass-balance (same dim as `heights`) (units: [m s-1])
