cosipy.modules.albedo.method_Bougamont(GRID, surface_temperature, albedo_snow)[source]

Get surface and snow albedos using method from Bougamont (2005).

Parameters:

  • GRID (Grid) – Glacier data structure.

  • surface_temperature (float) – Surface temperature.

  • albedo_snow (float) – Initial snow albedo.

Returns:

Updated surface and snow albedos.

Return type:

tuple[float, float]

TODO: Account for disappearance of uppermost fresh snow layer is difficult due to non-constant decay rate. Unsure how to implement.
