Introduction oggm_tools

This is a collection of useful OGGM workflows beyond the very good tutorials published on the OGGM website.

Before the notebooks and scripts can be executed, an OGGM environment must be installed. Detailed instructions can be found here. Installing the environment from the provided environment.yml usually works well.

OGGM is based on the RGI. The GLIMS Viewer is a very usuful tool to find the RGI-ID of your glacier of interest.

Note: the OGGM resources get constantly updated so some of the used code snippets might look differently now.

Examples in this repository:

• Modelling ice thickness of an ice cap until 2100
  • OGGM workflow to generate .nc files
  • Plotting routines for output analysis
• Flowline determination for given RGI-IDs
  • extracts glacier outlines and centerlines/flowlines as vector files
  • extracts coordinates along flowline incl. surface height and slope as .csv file
• more to come...
