English term or phrase: IB Flare Relocation
Hello everyone! I am wondering what does "IB" could mean in this context.
Could it be a type of flare or the acronym for "International Business"? Or maybe something else?
It would be also helpful to know if there is some site to look for this specific type of terminology.

1B = a bright flare of importance 1 in H-alpha classification
Explanation:
The brightness levels are generally divided as faint (F), normal (N), or bright (B).
For example, a bright flare of importance 1 in H α will be denoted as Class 1B flare.
-----------------

H-alpha classification

An earlier flare classification was based on Hα spectral observations. The scheme uses both the intensity and emitting surface. The classification in intensity is qualitative, referring to the flares as: faint (f), normal (n) or brilliant (b). The emitting surface is measured in terms of millionths of the hemisphere and is described below. (The total hemisphere area AH = 15.5 × 1012 km2.)
Classification Corrected area
(millionths of hemisphere)
S < 100
1 100–250
2 250–600
3 600–1200
4 > 1200
A flare then is classified taking S or a number that represents its size and a letter that represents its peak intensity, v.g.: Sn is a normal sunflare.
