oggm.tasks.process_w5e5_data(gdir, y0=None, y1=None, output_filesuffix=None)[source]#

Processes and writes the W5E5 baseline climate data for a glacier.

Internally, this is actually calling process_gswp3_w5e5_data but only for the W5E5 part.

data source: https://data.isimip.org/10.48364/ISIMIP.342217 The temperature lapse rate gradient from ERA5dr is added. Same as process_gswp3_w5e5_data, except that y0 is set to 1979 and can not be set to lower values.

Extracts the nearest timeseries and writes everything to a NetCDF file.

Parameters:
y0int

the starting year of the timeseries to write. The default is to take the entire time period available in the file (1979-2019), but with this kwarg you can shorten it (to save space or to crop bad data).

y1int

the end year of the timeseries to write. The default is to take the entire time period available in the file (1979-2019), but with this kwarg you can shorten it (to save space or to crop bad data)

output_filesuffixstr, optional

None by default
