oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel.get_annual_mb¶
-
MassBalanceModel.
get_annual_mb
(heights, year=None, fl_id=None, fls=None)[source]¶ 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 altitudes at which the mass-balance will be computed
- year: float, optional
the time (in the “floating year” convention)
- fl_id: float, optional
the index of the flowline in the fls array (might be ignored by some MB models)
- fls: list of flowline instances, optional
the flowlines array, in case the MB model implementation needs to know details about the glacier geometry at the moment the MB model is called
Returns: - the mass-balance (same dim as heights) (units: [m s-1])
