compute_downstream_line
(gdir)[source]¶ Compute the line continuing the glacier.
The idea is simple: starting from the glacier tail, compute all the routes to all local minimas found at the domain edge. The cheapest is “The One”.
The rest of the job (merging centerlines + downstream into one single glacier is realized by
init_present_time_glacier()
).Parameters: gdir : oggm.GlacierDirectory
Returns: Files writen to the glacier directory:
- downstream_line.pkl
A
dict
containing the downsteam line geometry as well as the bedshape computed from a parabolic fit.
