oggm.Flowline¶

class oggm.Flowline(line=None, dx=1, map_dx=None, surface_h=None, bed_h=None, rgi_id=None)[source]¶

Common logic for different types of flowlines used as input to the model

__init__(self, line=None, dx=1, map_dx=None, surface_h=None, bed_h=None, rgi_id=None)[source]¶

Initialize a Flowline

Parameters:

line : shapely.geometry.LineString: the geometrical line of a oggm.Centerline
dx : float: Grid spacing in pixel coordinates
map_dx : float: DEM grid spacing in meters
surface_h: :py:class:`numpy.ndarray`: elevation [m] of the flowline grid points
bed_h: :py:class:`numpy.ndarray`: elevation[m] of the bedrock at the flowline grid points
rgi_id : str: The glacier’s RGI identifier

Methods

`__init__`(self[, line, dx, map_dx, …])	Initialize a Flowline
`set_apparent_mb`(self, mb[, mu_star])	Set the apparent mb and flux for the flowline.
`set_flows_to`(self, other[, check_tail, …])	Find the closest point in “other” and sets all the corresponding attributes.
`set_line`(self, line)	Update the Shapely LineString coordinate.
`to_dataset`(self)	Makes an xarray Dataset out of the flowline.

Attributes

`area_km2`
`area_m2`
`flows_to_indice`	Indices instead of geometry
`inflow_indices`	Indices instead of geometries
`length_m`
`normals`	List of (n1, n2) normal vectors at each point.
`surface_h`	Needed for overriding later
`thick`	Needed for overriding later
`volume_km3`
`volume_m3`
`widths`	Compute the widths out of H and shape
