oggm.core.massbalance.RandomMassBalance#

class oggm.core.massbalance.RandomMassBalance(gdir, mb_model_class=<class 'oggm.core.massbalance.MonthlyTIModel'>, y0=None, halfsize=15, seed=None, all_years=False, unique_samples=False, prescribe_years=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Random shuffle of all MB years within a given time period.

This is useful for finding a possible past glacier state or for sensitivity experiments.

Note that this is going to be sensitive to extreme years in certain periods, but it is by far more physically reasonable than other approaches based on gaussian assumptions.

__init__(gdir, mb_model_class=<class 'oggm.core.massbalance.MonthlyTIModel'>, y0=None, halfsize=15, seed=None, all_years=False, unique_samples=False, prescribe_years=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Initialize.

Parameters
gdirGlacierDirectory

the glacier directory

mb_model_classMassBalanceModel class

the MassBalanceModel to use for the random shuffle

y0int, required

the year at the center of the period of interest.

halfsizeint, optional

the half-size of the time window (window size = 2 * halfsize + 1)

seedint, optional

Random seed used to initialize the pseudo-random number generator.

all_yearsbool

if True, overwrites y0 and halfsize to use all available years.

unique_samples: bool

if true, chosen random mass balance years will only be available once per random climate period-length if false, every model year will be chosen from the random climate period with the same probability

prescribe_yearspandas Series

instead of random samples, take a series of (i, y) pairs where (i) is the simulation year index and (y) is the year to pick in the original timeseries. Overrides y0, halfsize, all_years, unique_samples and seed.

**kwargs:

keyword arguments to pass to the mb_model_class

Methods

__init__(gdir[, mb_model_class, y0, ...])

Initialize.

get_annual_mb(heights[, year])

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])

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.

get_state_yr([year])

For a given year, get the random year associated to it.

is_year_valid(year)

Checks if a given date year be simulated by this model.

Attributes

bias

Residual bias to apply to the original series.

prcp_fac

Precipitation factor to apply to the original series.

temp_bias

Temperature bias to add to the original series.
