The approach is applied for the flash flood susceptibility mapping within the Karkheh Basin in Iran. The selected models include random forest (RF), boosted regression trees (BRT), support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural networks (ANN), generalized additive model (GAM), and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), with RF also serving as the <em>meta</em>-model for the stacking. The results revealed significant correlations among the predictions of the individual models, which could potentially impact the <em>meta</em>-model’s efficacy. To address this, PCA was applied to the model predictions to generate de-correlated components as inputs for the <em>meta</em>-model, thereby enhancing prediction accuracy and robustness. Evaluation based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve demonstrated that the GAM outperformed all other individual models with the highest accuracy score of 0.924. In contrast, the RF and ANN models had the lowest accuracy, both registering at 0.872. However, the performance disparity across models was minimal. Notably, the PCA-based stacking approach (0.936) surpassed both traditional model stacking (0.912) and the performances of all individual models, advocating for its use in enhancing predictive accuracy. These findings endorse the PCA-stacking method over conventional stacking techniques. Nonetheless, further research across varied applications is warranted to generalize its efficacy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50850,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Space Research","volume":"74 11","pages":"Pages 5371-5382"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 paper, we model atmospheric tides in the presence of background wind and dissipation processes and investigate their effects. The equations for tidal oscillations of wind and temperature in the atmosphere encompass factors such as background wind, temperature profile, and background composition including ozone, carbon dioxide, hydro-magnetic interactions, Newtonian cooling, eddy, and molecular diffusion. These components interact to define the behavior of tidal phenomena comprehensively. Thermal forcing processes include the insolation absorption of HO in the troposphere, O in the stratosphere, and a contribution from O absorption in the thermosphere. The method of solution for the equations is outlined for the solar diurnal tides during the March equinox by considering all these dissipation processes and the background wind. The obtained results are in good agreement with the Global Scale Wave Model (GSWM-00). It is found that the background wind plays significant role in affecting the horizontal wind oscillations below 100 km. At higher altitudes (100–200 km), the background wind, ion drag force, divergence of momentum, and heat fluxes due to molecular and eddy diffusion have a considerable role in affecting the zonal and meridional winds.","PeriodicalId":50850,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Space Research","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces a novel method, based on the categorization and modeling of different constraints, for attitude control of satellite formations under multiple constraints. The method employs the Phased Priority Reinforcement Learning (PPRL) approach, which utilizes Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) technology. Considering the complexity of constraints and the challenge posed by the high control dimensionality due to multi-satellite coordination, the method addresses these challenges through a two-step training strategy. The first step addresses the multi-constraint issue for individual satellites and increases the priority of single-satellite training experience data in the experience replay buffer of the second step to enhance data utilization efficiency. To address the issue of reward sparsity in complex high-dimensional constraint models, a detailed reward mechanism is proposed, incorporating both local and global constraints into the reward function, thereby achieving both efficient and effective attitude control. This approach not only meets dynamic, state, and performance constraints but also demonstrates adaptability and robustness through numerical simulations. Compared to traditional methods, this approach achieves significant improvements in control performance and constraint satisfaction, offering a novel solution pathway for high-dimensional control problems in multi-constraint satellite formations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50850,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Space Research","volume":"74 11","pages":"Pages 5819-5836"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 examined magnetic data obtained from ground-based magnetometers at 6 representative stations for the year 2009 and for geomagnetically quiet days (). The selected stations are along the magnetic equator in the South America (Huancayo), Africa (Ilorin; Addis Ababa), and the Philippines (Langkawi, dip latitude ; Davao, dip latitude ; Yap, dip latitude ). Results showed that both current systems are complex, and this complexity varies significantly from one longitudinal station to another. The strongest and weakest complexity were found in Huancayo and Ilorin, respectively. Afterwards, using four entropy quantifiers (Phase synchronization, Mutual Information, Ensemble Symbolic Coupling Traces, and S-independence), this study examined the relationship between the EEJ and Sq currents. Results revealed clearly a significant information exchange between both currents; that is, the Sq and EEJ currents are indeed coupled. As a step further, using the transfer entropy approach, a directional investigation was carried out to ascertain the direction of information flow between the Sq and EEJ stations. Observations revealed that due to the weak coupling obtained over the African sectors, only the currents over these stations exchanged information.
