oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel

class oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel

Interface and common logic for all mass balance models used in OGGM.

All mass balance models should implement this interface.

Attributes:

valid_bounds[float, float]

The altitudinal bounds where the MassBalanceModel is valid. This is necessary for automated ELA search.

hemispherestr, {‘nh’, ‘sh’}

Used for certain methods - if the hydrological year is requested.

rhofloat, default: cfg.PARAMS['ice_density']

Density of ice

__init__()

Initialize.

Methods

__init__()	Initialize.
get_annual_mb(heights[, year, fl_id, fls])	Like self.get_monthly_mb(), but for annual MB.
get_ela([year])	Compute the equilibrium line altitude for a given year.
get_monthly_mb(heights[, year, fl_id, fls])	Monthly mass balance at given altitude(s) for a moment in time.
get_specific_mb([heights, widths, fls, year])	Specific mb for this year and a specific glacier geometry.
is_year_valid(year)	Checks if a given date year be simulated by this model.
