oggm.tasks.prepare_for_inversion(gdir, settings_filesuffix='', input_filesuffix='', output_filesuffix='', invert_with_rectangular=True, invert_all_rectangular=False, invert_with_trapezoid=True, invert_all_trapezoid=False)

Prepares the data needed for the inversion.

Mostly the mass flux and slope angle, the rest (width, height) was already computed. It is then stored in a list of dicts in order to be faster.

Parameters:

gdiroggm.GlacierDirectory

the glacier directory to process

settings_filesuffix: str

You can use a different set of settings by providing a filesuffix. This is useful for sensitivity experiments. Code-wise the settings_filesuffix is set in the @entity-task decorater.

input_filesuffix: str

the filesuffix of the input inversion flowlines (useful for conducting multiple experiments in the same gdir)

output_filesuffixstr

this add a suffix to the output file (useful to avoid overwriting previous experiments)

Notes

Files written to the glacier directory:

inversion_input.pkl

List of dicts containing the data needed for the inversion.
