Description
The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is an international project sponsored by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). These organizations formed a Working Group (members list) in the late sixties to produce an empirical standard model of the ionosphere, based on all available data sources (Charter). IRI 2001 is one of the earliest stable releases of the model. Several steadily improved editions of the model have been released since 2001. For given location, time and date, IRI provides monthly averages of the electron density, electron temperature, ion temperature, and ion composition in the ionospheric altitude range.
