Version: 1

Model produces probabilistic prediction of the intensity and duration of space weather events based on historical and real-time data from NOAA GOES > 2 MeV electron data. Our model produces alerts when electron flux crosses threshold corresponding to 1, 2, 4 and 6 events per year and notifies users when each threshold is crossed. Model uses Gaussian Process + Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler as well as ARMAX approaches to make predictions.

Inputs

Electron GOES >2 MeV flux, optionally solar wind parameters

Outputs

Event start, event duration, flux threshold crossed, probability of crossing next threshold

Model is time-dependent.

Domains

  • Magnetosphere / Global Magnetosphere
  • Magnetosphere / Inner Magnetosphere / RadiationBelt

Space Weather Impacts

  • Near-earth radiation and plasma environment (aerospace assets functionality)

Phenomena

  • Geomagnetic Storms
