Surface velocity#

Plot a composite map including bedrock altitude, surface topography contours, a surface velocity map, and geographic elements.

Surface velocity (m$\,$a$^{-1}$)
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import hyoga

# initialize figure
ax = plt.subplot()
cax = plt.axes([0.15, 0.55, 0.025, 0.25])

# open demo data
with hyoga.open.example('pism.alps.out.2d.nc') as ds:
