Concise Description
International Reference Ionosphere 2016 from Python and Matlab
Description
Python and Matlab interfaces to the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) 2016 model. A Fortran compiler is required to build the IRI2016 code. This Python wrapper of IRI2016 uses our build-on-run technique. On the first run or iri2016.IRI() the Fortran code is built--we call this "build on run".
  • Altitude Profile: plot density and temperatures vs altitude
  • Latitude profile: plot densities and height at the peak of F2, F1, and E regions vs geographic latitude
  • Time profile: plot densities and height at the peak of F2, F1, and E regions vs UTC
iri2016/iri2016/data/index/{apf107,ig_rz}.dat are regularly updated. Currently we don't auto-update those.
