IRI2016 ionosphere model from Python and Matlab

Python and Matlab interfaces to the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) 2016 model. A Fortran compiler is required to build the IRI2016 code.

Install

Prerequisites

• Fortran compiler--any modern Fortran compiler will do. Here's how to get Gfortran:
  • Linux: apt install gfortran
  • Mac: brew install gcc
  • Windows: consider MSYS2

and then install latest release:

pip install iri2016

if you want the latest development version:

git clone https://github.com/space-physics/iri2016

pip install -e iri2016

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".

If you have errors about building on the first run, ensure that your Fortran compiler is specified in environment variable FC--this is what most build systems use to indicate the desired Fortran compiler (name or full path).

Usage

• Altitude Profile: plot density and temperatures vs altitude

  python -m iri2016.altitude 2003-11-21T12 -11.95 -76.77

  

• Latitude profile: plot densities and height at the peak of F2, F2, and E regions vs geographic latitude

  python -m iri2016.latitude 2004-11-21T17 -76.77

  

• Time profile: plot densities and height at the peak of F2, F2, and E regions vs UTC

  python -m iri2016.time 2014-11-21 2014-11-22 1 -11.95 -76.77

  

  

  

• Latitude vs Longitude: plot of foF2 a function of geographic latitude and longitude

setting JF flags

irisub.for has a few dozen logical flags stored in variable JF. To reconfigure those flags, edit iri2016_driver.f90 and recompile iri2016_driver.exe.

Matlab

IRI2016 is readily accessible from Matlab. From within Matlab verify everything is working by:

TestAll

The Examples directory has simple example use with plots.

Data files

iri2016/iri2016/data/index/{apf107,ig_rz}.dat are regularly updated. Currently we don't auto-update those.
