compass.landice.tests.ismip7_calibration.quadratic.angle_from_sin_slope(sin_slope)[source]

The slope angle corresponding to a sine, in radians.

MALI’s config_ismip7_melt_sin_slope is a sine, while local_quadratic_melt() takes an angle, so a call that mixes the two silently rescales the melt. This converts between them.

Parameters:

sin_slope (float) – The sine of the ice-draft slope angle

Returns:

slope (float) – The slope angle, in radians
