pyFIRI is a Python3 implementation of the FIRI-2018 (Faraday‐International
Reference Ionosphere), a semi-empirical D-Region model of the non-auroral 
Earth's ionosphere. Previous version of the FIRI (FT-2001) is incorporated
into a well-known mature International Reference Ionosphere (IRI, https://iri.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) 
model.

pyFIRI provides a thin Python3 wrapper around the tabulated electron density Ne profiles supplied 
together with the research paper by Friedrich et al.(2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JA025437 ). 
For internal data representation, selection, and interpolation pyFIRI relies on xarray.DataArray 
( https://xarray.pydata.org/ ) facilities.
