Abstract
The analysis techniques and the corresponding software suite GRITI (General Resource for Ionospheric Transient Investigations) are described. GRITI was used to develop the Dinsmore et al. [2] results, which found a novel classification of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) called semi-coherent ionospheric pulsing structures (SCIPS). The any-geographic range (local-to-global), any-azimuth angle keogram algorithm used to analyze SCIPS in that work is detailed. The keogram algorithm in GRITI is applied to detrended vTEC (vertical Total Electron Content) data, called delta-vTEC herein, in Dinsmore et al. [2] and the follow-on paper Dinsmore et al. [3], but is also applicable to any other two-dimensional dataset that evolves through time. GRITI's delta-vTEC processing algorithm is also described in detail, which is used to provide the delta-vTEC data for Dinsmore et al. [3]. •We detail a keogram algorithm for analysis of delta-vTEC data in Dinsmore et al. [2] and the follow-on paper Dinsmore et al. [3].•We detail a delta-vTEC processing algorithm that converts vTEC data to delta-vTEC through detrending that is used to provide the delta-vTEC data used in Dinsmore et al. [3].•GRITI is an open-source Python 3 analysis codebase that encompasses the delta-vTEC processing and keogram algorithms. GRITI has additional support for other data sources and is designed for flexibility in adding new data sources and analysis methods.
