MassBalanceModel.
get_monthly_mb
(heights, year=None)[source]¶ Monthly mass-balance at given altitude(s) for a moment in time.
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 “hydrological floating year” convention)
Returns: the mass-balance (same dim as heights) (units: [m s-1])
