Concise Description

Upper atmosphere climatological models in Python

Description

pyglow is a Python module that wraps several upper atmosphere climatological models written in FORTRAN, such as the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM), the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF), the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI), and the Mass Spectrometer and Incoherent Scatter Radar (MSIS). It includes HWM 1993/2007/2014, IGRF 11/12, IRI 2012/2016, and MSIS 2000. pyglow offers access to these models and geophysical indices (AP, Kp, F10.7, DST, AE) in a convenient, high-level object-oriented interface within Python.
