oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel¶

class oggm.core.massbalance.MassBalanceModel[source]¶

Interface and common logic for all mass balance models used in OGGM.

All mass balance models should implement this interface.

Attributes

valid_bounds[float, float]: The altitudinal bounds where the MassBalanceModel is valid. This is necessary for automated ELA search.
hemispherestr, {‘nh’, ‘sh’}: Used for time handling when the hydrological year convention is used (cfg.PARAMS['hydro_month_nh'] != 1)
rhofloat, default: cfg.PARAMS['ice_density']: Density of ice

Methods

`__init__`()	Initialize.
`get_annual_mb`(heights[, year, fl_id, fls])	Like self.get_monthly_mb(), but for annual MB.
`get_ela`([year])	Compute the equilibrium line altitude for a given year.
`get_monthly_mb`(heights[, year, fl_id, fls])	Monthly mass balance at given altitude(s) for a moment in time.
`get_specific_mb`([heights, widths, fls, year])	Specific mb for this year and a specific glacier geometry.
