Researchers have developed a novel approach to forecasting ionospheric irregularities using dynamic graphs and ephemeris conditioning. This method models the ionosphere as a graph where connectivity changes with satellite positions, allowing predictions on lines of sight that may only appear in the future. Tested on Global Navigation Satellite System data from Singapore, the IonoDGNN model achieved a Brier Skill Score of 0.55 and an AUC of 0.77 for predicting Rate of TEC Index irregularities up to two hours in advance. The study indicates that dynamic graph forecasting offers a viable alternative to traditional gridded ionospheric models, especially when dealing with coverage dropouts. AI
