oggm.tasks.rgi7g_to_complex

oggm.tasks.rgi7g_to_complex(gdir, rgi7g_file=None, rgi7c_to_g_links=None)

Adds the individual glacier outlines to this glacier complex gdir.

Also adds a mask to gridded_data.nc with number indicating the respective subentity index in the shapefile (-1 means no glacier).

Parameters:

gdiroggm.GlacierDirectory object

the glacier directory to process

rgi7g_filegpd.GeoDataFrame

the RGI7G file to extract the outlines from (we can read it from disk but if you give it, this may faster for large number of glaciers)

rgi7c_to_g_linksgpd.GeoDataFrame

the RGI7G file to extract the outlines from (we can read it from disk but if you give it, this may faster for large number of glaciers)

Notes

Files written to the glacier directory:

complex_sub_entities.shp

The outlines of this glacier complex sub-entities (for RGI7C only!).

gridded_data.nc

A netcdf file containing several gridded data variables such as topography, the glacier masks, the interpolated 2D glacier bed, and more. This is for static, non time-dependant data.
