oggm.shop.rgitopo.init_glacier_directories_from_rgitopo

oggm.shop.rgitopo.init_glacier_directories_from_rgitopo(rgidf=None, dem_source=None, resolution='default', keep_dem_folders=False, reset=False, force=True)

Initialize a glacier directory from an RGI-TOPO DEM.

Wrapper around workflow.init_glacier_directories(), which selects a default source for you (if not set manually with dem_source).

The default source is NASADEM for all latitudes between 60N and 56S, and COPDEM90 elsewhere.

Parameters:

rgidfGeoDataFrame or list of ids, optional for pre-computed runs

the RGI glacier outlines. If unavailable, OGGM will parse the information from the glacier directories found in the working directory. It is required for new runs.

resetbool

delete the existing glacier directories if found.

forcebool

setting reset=True will trigger a yes/no question to the user. Set force=True to avoid this.

dem_sourcestr

the source to pick from (default: NASADEM and COPDEM90)

keep_dem_foldersbool

the default is to delete the other DEM directories to save space. Set this to True to prevent that (e.g. for sensitivity tests)

Returns

——-

gdirslist of oggm.GlacierDirectory objects

the initialised glacier directories
