| 6 | +The IRI is a joined project of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and the |
| 7 | +International Union of Radio Science (URSI). IRI is an empirical model specifying |
| 8 | +monthly averages of electron density, ion composition, electron temperature, and |
| 9 | +ion temperature in the altitude range from 50 km to 1500 km. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +This directory includes the FORTRAN program, coefficients, and indices files for |
| 12 | +the latest version of the International Reference Ionosphere model: IRI2007. This |
| 13 | +version includes several options for different parts and parameters. A logical |
| 14 | +array JF(30) is used to set these options. The IRI-recommended set of options |
| 15 | +can be found in the COMMENT section at the beginning of IRISUB.FOR. IRITEST.FOR |
| 16 | +sets these options as the default. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The compilation/link command in Fortran 77 is: |
| 19 | +f77 -o iri iritest.for irisub.for irifun.for iritec.for iridreg.for igrf.for |
| 20 | + cira.for iriflip.for |
| 21 | + |

| 23 | +IMPORTANT: Please note that the following files have NOT been changed and are the |
| 24 | +same as for IRI2007: CCIR%%, URSI%% |

| 27 | +Directory Contents: |
| 28 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +00_iri2012.tar TAR file that includes all files from this directory. Was created |
| 31 | + in UNIX using 'tar -cvf 00_iri2007.tar *'. UNIX command to unpack |
| 32 | + is "tar -xvf 00_iri2007.tar". |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +irisub.for This file contains the main subroutine iri_sub. It computes |
| 35 | + height profiles if IRI output parameters (Ne, Te, Ti, Ni, vi) |
| 36 | + for specified date and location. Also included is the |
| 37 | + subroutine iri_web that computes output parameters versus |
| 38 | + latitude, longitude (geog. or geom.), year, day of year, hour |
| 39 | + (LT or UT), and month. An example of how to call and use iri_web |
| 40 | + is shown in iritest.for. Compilation of iritest.for requires |
| 41 | + irisub.for, irifun.for, iritec.for, iridreg.for, igrf.for, and |
| 42 | + cira.for. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +irifun.for This file contains the subroutines and functions that are |
| 45 | + required for running IRI. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +iriflip.for Subroutines for the FLIP-related new model for the bottomside |
| 49 | + ion composition of Richards et al. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +iridreg.for Subroutines for the D region models of Friedrich-Torkar |
| 52 | + and of Danilov et al. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +iritec.for This file includes the subroutines for computing the ionospheric |
| 55 | + electron content from 60km up to a specified upper limit. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +cira.for This file includes the subroutines and functions for computing |
| 58 | + the COSPAR International Reference Ionosphere (NRLMSIS-00) |
| 59 | + neutral temperature and densities. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +igrf.for This file includes the subroutines for the International |
| 62 | + Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF). |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +dgrf%%%%.dat Definitive IGRF coefficients for the years 1945 to 2000 in steps |
| 65 | + of 5 years (%%%%=1945, 1950, etc.)(ASCII). |
| 66 | +igrf%%%%.dat Prelimenary IGRF coefficients for most recent year (ASCII). |
| 67 | +igrf%%%%s.dat IGRF coefficients for extrapolating 5 years into the future (ASCII). |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +iritest.for Test program indicating how to use of the IRI subroutines. |
| 70 | + Requires irisub, irifun, iritec, iridreg, igrf,and cira. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +iriorbit.for Simple program for calculating IRI parameters along an orbit |
| 73 | +iriorbitmax.for Program to calculate F2 peak parameters along an orbit. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +ig_rz.dat This file(s) contains the solar and ionospheric indices (IG12, Rz12) |
| 76 | + for the time period from Jan 1958 onward. The file is updated |
| 77 | + quarterly. It is read by subroutine tcon in irifun.for (ASCII). |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +apf107.dat This file provides the 3-hour ap magnetic index and F10.7 daily |
| 80 | + 81-day and 365-day index from 1960 onward (ASCII). |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +CCIR%%.ASC, Coefficient files for the global representation of the F2 peak |
| 83 | + URSI%%.ASC peak parameters (foF2, M3000) where %% = Month+10 (ASCII). CCIR is |
| 84 | + the model recommended by the International Committee Consultative |
| 85 | + on Radiocommunication (CCIR) of the International Union of |
| 86 | + Telecommunication (ITU). URSI is the model recommended by the |
| 87 | + International Union of Radio Science. IRI recommends the CCIR |
| 88 | + model for the continents and the URSI model for the ocean areas. |
| 89 | + If a single model is needed globally URSI is recommended. |
