Ionospheric Bubble Probability (IBP)
====================================

The ionospheric bubble probability statistical model is a Swarm L2 product, named IBP_CLI. The output of the Ionospheric Bubble Probability (IBP) product is an index, that depends on the day of year or the month of the year, geographic longitude, local time and solar flux index. 

The output floating point index ranges 0-1 and characterizes the percentage probability of low latitude bubble occurence at the specified time, location and solar flux.

This empirical IBP model has been derived from magnetic observations obtained by the CHAMP and Swarm missions. The model is representative for the altitude range 350 - 500 km and low geographic latitudes of +/- 45 degree.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> ibp.calculateIBPindex(day_month=['Jan','Feb','Mar'], local_time=22)

.. code-block:: python

    >>> ibp.plotIBPindex(doy=349)
    >>>

The IBP model reproduces the high occurrence probability of EPDs ranging between 50-90% over the South American (75-25°W) sector and low occurrence probability over the Pacific sector during the period around December solstice.


.. code-block:: python

    >>> ibp.plotButterflyData(f107=150)
    >>>

.. image:: https://igit.iap-kborn.de/ibp/ibp-model/-/raw/main/docs/source/_static/example_plotButterfly.png
    :alt: Contour plot of result from function ButterflyData()  
    :align: center

The monthly global occurrence rate of EPDs from the IBP model, is derived for a fixed value of F10.7=150 s.f.u for all integer longitudes at a resolution of 5° at the middle of each month and averaged between 19 and 1 LT.
The seasonal and longitudinal variations of the EPD occurrence rates are particularly well-characterized by the IBP model as compared to its climatology with highest rates seen around the equinoxes and winter solstice in the America-Atlantic-Africa region and lowest rates during November-February in the Pacific sector and during May-July in the America-Atlantic and Indian sectors.
