#' Alerce's glacier data for modeling
#'
#' A dataset containing all necessary information to simulate a three year
#' glacier surface mass balance. The ice body is located on Monte Tronador,
#' nearby the border between Argentina and Chile in the Andes of Northern Patagonia.
#' Alerce is a medium size mountain glacier with an area of about 2.33 km2 that
#' ranges between 1629 and 2358 \code{masl} and it shows a SE aspect (IANIGLA-ING, 2018).

#' @format A list with five elements
#' \describe{
#'   \item{mass_balance}{data frame with the estimated annual mass balance and the acceptable uncertainty bounds.}
#'   \item{mb_dates}{data frame containing the first fix days of the winter and summer mass balances.}
#'   \item{meteo_data}{data frame with the precipitation gauge and air temperatures records. The former
#'   series is recorded at Puerto Montt's station (Chile) and the last one is measured at Bariloche's
#'   airport (Argentina)}
#'   \item{topography}{data frame with: elevation zone number, minimum, maximum and mean altitude
#'   values for the elevation range and the relative area.}
#'   \item{station_height}{numeric vector with the stations heights. Air temperature refers to
#'   Bariloche's airport and precipitation to Puerto Montt station. Units are in \code{masl} (meters
#'   above sea level).}
