oggm.tasks.glacier_masks#
- oggm.tasks.glacier_masks(gdir)[source]#
Makes a gridded mask of the glacier outlines that can be used by OGGM.
For a more robust solution (not OGGM compatible) see simple_glacier_masks.
- Parameters:
- gdir
oggm.GlacierDirectory where to write the data
- gdir
Notes
- Files written to the glacier directory:
- geometries.pkl
A dictionary containing the shapely.Polygons of a glacier. The “polygon_hr” entry contains the geometry transformed to the local grid in (i, j) coordinates, while the “polygon_pix” entry contains the geometries transformed into the coarse grid (the i, j elements are integers). The “polygon_area” entry contains the area of the polygon as computed by Shapely. The “catchment_indices” entrycontains a list of len n_centerlines, each element containing a numpy array of the indices in the glacier grid which represent the centerlines catchment area.
- 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.
