oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel.get_annual_mb

MassBalanceModel.get_annual_mb(heights, year=None)

Like self.get_monthly_mb(), but for annual MB.

For some simpler mass-balance models get_monthly_mb()` and `get_annual_mb() can be equivalent.

Units: [m s-1], or meters of ice per second

Note: year is optional because some simpler models have no time component.

Parameters:

heights: ndarray

the atitudes at which the mass-balance will be computed

year: float, optional

the time (in the “floating year” convention)

Returns:

the mass-balance (same dim as heights) (units: [m s-1])
