Computes the ELA of a glacier for a for given years and climate.
- Parameters
- gdir
oggm.GlacierDirectory
the glacier directory to process
- ysint
start year
- yeint
end year
- yearsarray of ints
override ys and ye with the years of your choice
- climate_filenamestr
name of the climate file, e.g. ‘climate_historical’ (default) or ‘gcm_data’
- climate_input_filesuffixstr
filesuffix for the input climate file
- temperature_biasfloat
add a bias to the temperature timeseries
- precipitation_factor: float
multiply a factor to the precipitation time series default is None and means that the precipitation factor from the calibration is applied which is cfg.PARAMS[‘prcp_fac’]
- mb_model_classMassBalanceModel class
the MassBalanceModel class to use, default is MonthlyTIModel
- gdir
