Software and Data for "First Observations Linking Large-Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances to Polar Vortex Strength"

Description

This repository contains the code and data to reproduce Figures 1, 2, and 3 in the Frissell et al. (2024)
Geophysical Research Letters manuscript
"First Observations Linking Large-Scale Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances to Polar Vortex Strength".

To reproduce the figures, call one of the following scripts:

* GRL_figures/Figure_1_Vortex_GW_Maps.py
* GRL_figures/Figure_2.py
* GRL_figures/Figure_3_stackplot.py

Data for these figures is stored in GRL_figures/data/.

Code for SuperDARN MSTID Index processing is contained in DARNtids/. DARNtids depends on pyDARNMusic, located in pyDARNmusic/.

Code to generate the perturbed IRI in Figure 2d is in IRI_TID. This code depends on https://github.com/space-physics/iri2016.

Code to do the ray tracing in Figure 2d is in PyLap. PyLap depends on PHaRLAP, which is available from https://www.dst.defence.gov.au/our-technologies/pharlap-provision-high-frequency-raytracing-laboratory-propagation-studies.

All code and data repositories have been stored in zip archives.
