New neural network predicts ionospheric irregularities up to 9 hours ahead

Researchers have developed a novel data-driven, multiscale method to predict ionospheric irregularities using a neural network architecture inspired by graph neural networks. This approach leverages data from Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) and SECIRA radar systems, combined with space weather parameters like geomagnetic and solar disturbance indices, and satellite-measured solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data. The model demonstrates acceptable forecast quality with a lead time of up to 7-9 hours, with the highest accuracy achieved for nowcasting. AI

IMPACT This research could improve space weather forecasting by enabling more accurate predictions of ionospheric irregularities.
