oggm.MassBalanceModel.get_specific_mb#
- MassBalanceModel.get_specific_mb(heights=None, widths=None, fls=None, year=None)[source]#
Specific mb for this year and a specific glacier geometry.
Units: [mm w.e. yr-1], or millimeter water equivalent per year
- Parameters
- heights: ndarray
the altitudes at which the mass balance will be computed. Overridden by
flsif provided- widths: ndarray
the widths of the flowline (necessary for the weighted average). Overridden by
flsif provided- fls: list of flowline instances, optional
Another way to get heights and widths - overrides them if provided.
- year: float, optional
the time (in the “floating year” convention)
- Returns
- the specific mass balance (units: mm w.e. yr-1)
