Very belated, but in the hope it's useful to posterity: The Calabi ansatz expresses a special type of circle-invariant Kähler metric _in terms of its own moment map_ as sketched briefly below. The main limitations are the stringent curvature conditions required on the base metric $(M, \omega_{M})$ and the line bundle $(L, h)$. A slightly newer and more encompassing prospective resource might be the [three-part series](https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0202280) of [papers](https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0401320) on [Hamiltonian $2$-forms](https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0511118) by Apostolov, Calderbank, Gauduchon, and Tønnesen-Friedman.

In the notation of the question, let $t$ denote the Hermitian norm function on the total space of $L$; let $(0, b)$ be an interval of real numbers and $\tau_{0}$ a number in $(0, b)$; and let $\varphi$ be a $C^{2}$ (or smoother) positive function on $(0, b)$. Equation (2.2) of the [_Transactions_ paper](http://www.ams.org/tran/2002-354-06/S0002-9947-02-02965-3) directs us to define real-valued functions $\mu$ and $f$ by
$$
t = \int_{\tau_{0}}^{\mu(t)} \frac{dx}{\varphi(x)},\qquad
f(t) = \int_{\tau_{0}}^{\mu(t)} \frac{x\, dx}{\varphi(x)}.
$$
Setting $\tau = \mu(t)$ and letting $\gamma$ denote the curvature form of $(L, h)$, we have an equality of closed $(1, 1)$-forms
\begin{align*}
  \omega_{L} &= p^{*}\omega_{M} + dd^{c} f(t) \\
  &= p^{*}\omega_{M} - \tau\, p^{*}\gamma + \frac{1}{\varphi(\tau)}\, d\tau \wedge d^{c}\tau.
\end{align*}
From the "momentum side," $\omega_{L}$ is positive as a closed $(1, 1)$-form on some annulus sub-bundle of $L$ if and only if $\varphi$ is positive on $(0, b)$ and the closed $(1, 1)$-form $\omega_{M} - b\gamma$ is positive on $M$. Conditions on $f$ may be read off from the formulas above.
