TOPOGRAPHIC_TIME_GRID

CLASS

class slcode.grid.TOPOGRAPHIC_TIME_GRID(time_step=array([1, 2]), maxdeg=64, height_time_grid=None, mass_time_grid=None, mass_time_coeff=None, height_time_coeff=None, rho=0, grid_name='time_grid', from_file=(False,))

The TOPOGRAPHIC_TIME_GRID class is used to save and include all the topographic variations. This class inherits of TIME_GRID. This class main difference with TIME_GRID is the presence of a parameter called topo_pres wich is the present topography. It is created using Precomputation.

Attributes

time_stepnp.array([time_step_number,])

This array contains the time step of the data you are importing. They will be use for temporal interpolation.

maxdegint

Maximum harmonic coefficient degree of the data. this define the chape of the grid and coefficient arrays

height_time_gridnp.array([maxedg*2,maxdeg])

This array is the height grid at each time steps defined in grid_time_step

mass_time_gridnp.array([maxedg*2,maxdeg])

This array is the mass grid at each time steps defined in grid_time_step

height_time_coeffnp.array([(maxdeg+1)(maxedg+2)/2,])

This array is the height spherical harmonic coefficient at each time steps defined in grid_time_step

mass_time_coeffnp.array([(maxdeg+1)(maxedg+2)/2,])

This array is the mass spherical harmonic coefficient at each time steps defined in grid_time_step

rhofloat

The density of the considered layer.

Note

In future development the density may vary threw space and time. We’ll have to make a variable object more then a constant density.

grid_namestr

The name of the grid. We recommand you to choose a specific name for each grid you create. This name is used to save the grid in an nc file with `save`_.

from_file(bool,way)

This parameter define if the data are new or loaded from a previously saved model in a nc file. If the first element is False, the code will create a blank object, based on provided datas. If the first element is True, the method will get the data from the file way specified in the second element of this attribute.

Methods

save

Method to save the topographic datas

METHODS

slcode.grid.TOPOGRAPHIC_TIME_GRID.save(self, save_way='')

The save method is used to save the data of the topographic grid. Particularity of the topography is the present day topography used in the code to converge toward it. The function save is. Otherwise this method use the super method save to save the rest of the data.

Attributes

save_way :str

The way where the nc file is saved. Default value is the current file (an empty str).

Return

None
