xarray.Dataset.hyoga.plot.bedrock_erosion#

Dataset.hyoga.plot.bedrock_erosion(constant=5.2e-08, exponent=2.34, **kwargs)#

Plot erosion rate based on basal velocity.

Parameters
  • constant (float, optional) – Constant in the erosion law, in units of 1e-3 m^(1-l) a^(l-1) where l corresponds to the exponent. Published values include 1.665e-1 (Cook et al., 2020), 2.7e-4 (Herman et al., 2015), 1e-1 (Humphrey and Raymond, 1994), and the default 5.2e-8 (Koppes et al., 2015).

  • exponent (float, optional) – Exponent in the erosion law, unitless. Published values include 0.6459 (Cook et al., 2020), 2.02 (Herman et al., 2015), 1 (Humphrey and Raymond, 1994), and the default 2.34 (Koppes et al., 2015).

  • **kwargs (optional) – Keyword arguments passed to xarray.DataArray.plot.contourf(). Defaults to a brownish colormap and light transparency.

Returns

contours (QuadContourSet) – The plotted bedrock erosion contour set.
