GlacierDirectory
(rgi_entity, base_dir=None, reset=False, from_tar=False, delete_tar=False)[source]¶ Organizes read and write access to the glacier’s files.
It handles a glacier directory created in a base directory (default is the “per_glacier” folder in the working directory). The role of a GlacierDirectory is to give access to file paths and to I/O operations. The user should not care about where the files are located, but should know their name (see cfg.BASENAMES).
If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
See Glacier directories for more information.
- Attributes
- dirstr
path to the directory
- rgi_idstr
The glacier’s RGI identifier
- glims_idstr
The glacier’s GLIMS identifier (when available)
rgi_area_km2
floatThe glacier’s RGI area (km2).
- cenlon, cenlatfloat
The glacier centerpoint’s lon/lat
- rgi_dateint
The RGI’s BGNDATE year attribute if available. Otherwise, defaults to the median year for the RGI region
- rgi_regionstr
The RGI region name
- namestr
The RGI glacier name (if Available)
- glacier_typestr
The RGI glacier type (‘Glacier’, ‘Ice cap’, ‘Perennial snowfield’, ‘Seasonal snowfield’)
- terminus_typestr
The RGI terminus type (‘Land-terminating’, ‘Marine-terminating’, ‘Lake-terminating’, ‘Dry calving’, ‘Regenerated’, ‘Shelf-terminating’)
- is_tidewaterbool
Is the glacier a caving glacier?
- inversion_calving_ratefloat
Calving rate used for the inversion
-
__init__
(self, rgi_entity, base_dir=None, reset=False, from_tar=False, delete_tar=False)[source]¶ Creates a new directory or opens an existing one.
- Parameters
- rgi_entitya
geopandas.GeoSeries
or str glacier entity read from the shapefile (or a valid RGI ID if the directory exists)
- base_dirstr
path to the directory where to open the directory. Defaults to cfg.PATHS[‘working_dir’] + /per_glacier/
- resetbool, default=False
empties the directory at construction (careful!)
- from_tarstr or bool, default=False
path to a tar file to extract the gdir data from. If set to True, will check for a tar file at the expected location in base_dir.
- delete_tarbool, default=False
delete the original tar file after extraction.
- rgi_entitya
