Specifically, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, and Decision Tree were utilized for 1-hr TEC prediction at high- (80°W, 80°N), mid- (80°W, 40°N), and low- latitudes (80°W, 10°N). Results indicate that all three models performed well in predicting TEC, with a mean error of only approximately 0.6 TECU at high- and mid- latitudes and 1.13 TECU at low latitudes. At the same time, we compared the model with 1-day Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics model during the period of magnetic storm from 25 August 2018 to 27 August 2018 and a quiet period from 13 December 2018 to 15 December 2018. In the magnetic storm period, Our model showed an average reduction of 1.83 TECU compared to BUAA model. During the quiet period, XGBoost exhibit an average error that is 1.14 TECU lower than that of BUAA model. Moreover, TEC prediction over the region between the 20°N–45°N and 70°E−120°E during geomagnetic storm has an error of 2.74 TECU, showing the stability and superiority of XGBoost. Overall, the ensemble learning approach exhibits its advantage in predicting TEC.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140182028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assesses the effectiveness of four different machine learning (ML) models in predicting hourly vertical TEC (VTEC) data for a single-station study over Ethiopia. The models employed include gradient boosting machine (GBM), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) algorithms, and a stacked combination of these algorithms with a linear regression algorithm. The models relied on input variables that represent solar activity, geomagnetic activity, season, time of the day, interplanetary magnetic field, and solar wind. The models were trained using the VTEC data from January 2011 to December 2018, excluding the testing data. The testing data comprised the data for the year 2015 and the initial 6 months of 2017. The RandomizedSearchCV algorithm was used to determine the optimal hyperparameters of the models. The predicted VTEC values of the four ML models were strongly correlated with the GPS VTEC, with a correlation coefficient of ∼0.96, which is significantly higher than the corresponding value of the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI 2020) model, which is 0.87. Comparing the GPS VTEC values with the predicted VTEC values based on diurnal and seasonal characteristics showed that the predictions of the developed models were generally in good agreement and outperformed the IRI 2020 model. Overall, the ML models used in this study demonstrated promising potential for accurate single-station VTEC prediction over Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140148955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study utilized a combination of ground-based observations (Global Navigation Satellite System total electron content and ionosonde) along with measurements from multiple satellite missions (GOLD, Swarm, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, and TIMED/GUVI) to analyze storm-time electrodynamics and neutral dynamics. We found that the storm main phase was characterized by distinct midlatitude ionospheric density gradient structures as follows: (a) In the European-Atlantic longitude sector, a significant midlatitude bubble-like ionospheric super-depletion structure (BLISS) was observed after sunset. This BLISS appeared as a low-density channel extending poleward/westward and reached ∼40° geomagnetic latitude, corresponding to an APEX height of ∼5,000 km. (b) Coincident with the BLISS, a dynamic storm-enhanced density plume rapidly formed and decayed at local afternoon in the North American sector, with the plume intensity being doubled and halved in just a few hours. (c) The simultaneous occurrence of these strong yet opposite midlatitude gradient structures could be mainly attributed to common key drivers of prompt penetration electric fields and subauroral polarization stream electric fields. This shed light on the important role of storm-time electrodynamic processes in shaping global ionospheric disturbances.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140072599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The least squares fitting method is utilized to perform a spectral analysis of zonal wind, EEJ and TEC. Our analysis results demonstrate that UFKW events can be divided into four categories: (a) UFKW events with both TEC and EEJ response; (b) UFKW events with TEC response but without EEJ response; (c) UFKW events with EEJ response but without TEC response; (d) UFKW events without neither TEC response nor EEJ response. The first type of UFKW events occur the most often and is generally thought to generate a response in EEJ at approximately 105–110 km through the dynamo effect. The polarization electric field associated with EEJ then produces a response in the ionospheric TEC through the fountain effect. The lack of EEJ response in the second type of UFKWs may be due to the influence of eastward background winds. We found that all UFKW events with EEJ response have a response in TEC. The fourth type of UFKWs have smaller amplitudes, shorter vertical wavelengths and longer periods, which make them more likely to dissipate and cannot propagate to higher altitudes. These UFKWs cannot propagate to the altitude of EEJ and produce a response in EEJ, much less in TEC.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140072501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inclusion of the attention mechanism enhances the efficient utilization of spatiotemporal features extracted by the ConvLSTM, emphasizing the significance of crucial spatiotemporal features in the prediction process and, as a result, leading to an enhancement in predictive performance. We conducted experiments in East Asia (10°N–45°N, 90°E−130°E). The ED-AttConvLSTM was trained and evaluated using the International GNSS Service TEC maps over a period of six years from 2013 to 2015 (high solar activity years) and 2017 to 2019 (low solar activity years). We compared our ED-AttConvLSTM with IRI-2016, COPG, LSTM, GRU, ED-ConvLSTM and ED-ConvGRU. The results indicate that our model surpasses the comparison models in forecasting both high and low solar activity years, across most months and UT moments in a day. Moreover, our model exhibits notably superior prediction performance during the most severe phases of a magnetic storm when compared to the comparison models. Subsequently, we then also discuss how the prediction performance of our model is affected by latitude. Finally, we discuss the diminishing performance of our model in multi-day predictions, demonstrating that its reliability for forecasts ranging from one to 4 days in advance. Beyond the fifth day, there is a pronounced decline in the model's performance.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140055059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The construction of the background error covariance matrix is an important component of ionospheric data assimilations. To construct the background error covariance matrix, the information about the spatial ionospheric correlations is required. We present a statistical analysis on the ionospheric vertical error correlation length (VCL) based on a global network of ionosondes and the Neustrelitz Electron Density Model. We show that the locally derived VCL is well-defined and the VCL does not show a considerable dependency on the geographical seasons while local time dependencies of the VCL are shown to be present. A novel VCL model is also established based on the ionospheric scale heights. We show that the ionospheric VCL can be characterized by the variance ratio between the ionosphere model and ionospheric measurements. The altitudinal variations of VCLs are controlled by the interactions between the inherent VCLs of the ionosphere model and the measurements. Two experiments are conducted at two different latitudes based on the proposed model. The results show that the proposed model is stable and well-correlated with the observed VCLs, which implies a potential to be generalized for a global correlation model. The proposed model can be used in the temporal evolution of error covariance matrices in the ionospheric 4D-Variational (4D-Var) assimilations, which may overcome the main drawbacks of the static error covariance specifications in the ionospheric 4D-Var assimilations.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140045237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The United States Air Force (USAF) operational High Accuracy Satellite Drag Model (HASDM), relies on JB2008, (https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2008-6438), and forecasts of solar drivers from a linear algorithm. We introduce methods using long short-term memory (LSTM) model ensembles to improve over the current prediction method as well as a previous univariate approach. We investigate the usage of principal component analysis (PCA) to enhance multivariate forecasting. A novel method, referred to as striped sampling, is created to produce statistically consistent machine learning data sets. We also investigate forecasting performance and uncertainty estimation by varying the training loss function and by investigating novel weighting methods. Results show that stacked neural network model ensembles make multivariate driver forecasts which outperform the operational linear method. When using MV-MLE (multivariate multi-lookback ensemble), we see an improvement of RMSE for F10.7, S10.7, M10.7, and Y10.7 of 17.7%, 12.3%, 13.8%, 13.7% respectively, over the operational method. We provide the first probabilistic forecasting method for S10.7, M10.7, and Y10.7. Ensemble approaches are leveraged to provide a distribution of predicted values, allowing an investigation into robustness and reliability (R&R) of uncertainty estimates. Uncertainty was also investigated through the use of calibration error score (CES), with the MV-MLE providing an average CES of 5.63%, across all drivers.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140055058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we systematically analyze the dependence of quasi-trapped electron fluxes scattered by signals from the North West Cape (NWC) transmitter on electron energy, L-shell, and geomagnetic activity (i.e., the Dst index) using long-term measurements from the DEMETER satellite. Considering potentially changed theoretical cyclotron resonant condition, we find that the variations of wave normal angle (WNA) of NWC transmitter signals or of the background electron density can explain the variated “wisp” positions in energy versus L plane. The long-term data analyzation suggests that the energy-dependences increases can help to distinguish the different source mechanisms of quasi-trapped electrons. The enhancement of quasi-trapped electron fluxes induced by NWC transmitter signals is more obvious at L = 1.8 than L = 1.6 due to higher trapped flux levels and strong pitch angle diffusion induced by transmitter signals.","PeriodicalId":22181,"journal":{"name":"Space Weather","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140026193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
