oggm.core.massbalance.ScalarMassBalance

class oggm.core.massbalance.ScalarMassBalance(mb=0.0)

Constant mass balance, everywhere.

__init__(mb=0.0)

Initialize.

Parameters

mbfloat

Fix the mass balance to a certain value (unit: [mm w.e. yr-1])

Methods

__init__([mb])	Initialize.
get_annual_mb(heights, **kwargs)	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, **kwargs)	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.
