oggm.utils.get_ref_mb_glaciers

oggm.utils.get_ref_mb_glaciers(gdirs, y0=None, y1=None)[source]

Get the list of glaciers we have valid mass balance measurements for.

To be valid glaciers must have more than 5 years of measurements and be land terminating. Therefore, the list depends on the time period of the baseline climate data and this method selects them out of a list of potential candidates (gdirs arg).

Parameters:
gdirs : list of oggm.GlacierDirectory objects

list of glaciers to check for valid reference mass balance data

y0 : int

override the default behavior which is to check the available climate data (or PARAMS[‘ref_mb_valid_window’]) and decide

y1 : int

override the default behavior which is to check the available climate data (or PARAMS[‘ref_mb_valid_window’]) and decide

Returns:
ref_gdirs : list of oggm.GlacierDirectory objects

list of those glaciers with valid reference mass balance data
