7.5.3.1. Density Dataloader

Density values were taken from the paper ‘Thickness distribution of Antarctic sea ice’ (Worby, A.P. et al.). This paper took a density model from the paper ‘Structure, principal properties and strength of Antarctic sea ice’ (Buynitskiy, V.K.).

Name in config: 'density'

Data is generated using the values from this paper, and so no data file is available for download.

class meshiphi.dataloaders.lut.density.DensityDataLoader(bounds, params)

import_data(bounds)

Creates a simulated dataset of sea ice density based on scientific literature.

Parameters:

bounds (Boundary) – Initial boundary to limit the dataset to

Returns:

Sea Ice Density dataset within limits of bounds. DataFrame has coordinates ‘date’, ‘shape’, and variable ‘density’

Return type:

density_df (pd.DataFrame)
