Modelling of foF2 using neural networks at an equatorial anomaly station
نویسندگان
چکیده
The critical frequency of the F2-layer (foF2) is an important parameter in estimating the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere, which is necessary for predicting the ionospheric time delay in GPS applications. The foF2 data from Ahmedabad, which is in the equatorial anomaly region, are modelled using a multilayer neural network trained with back-propagation algorithm. The IRI-2001 model together with this neural network model can be used for predicting/forecasting of the foF2 parameter within the Indian subcontinent. The foF2 values thus predicted can be used to estimate the critical TEC parameter.

Statistical investigation of the saturation effect in the ionospheric foF2 versus sunspot, solar radio noise, and solar EUV radiation
[1] This study explores the saturation effects in the ionospheric foF2 due to sunspot number R, solar radio noise (10.7 cm) flux F10.7, and solar EUV fluxes. To locate the R, F10.7, or EUV value at which the foF2 values are saturated, a two-segmented regression model is built based on the data of the strictly rise period of the 21st solar cycle recorded by eight ionosonde stations scattering ro...
متن کاملNeural-network-based prediction techniques for single station modeling and regional mapping of the foF2 and M(3000)F2 ionospheric characteristics
Abstract. In this work, Neural-Network-based single-station hourly daily foF2 and M(3000)F2 modelling of 15 European ionospheric stations is investigated. The data used are neural networks and hourly daily values from the period 1964– 1988 for training the neural networks and from the period 1989–1994 for checking the prediction accuracy. Two types of models are presented for the F2-layer criti...
متن کاملMonthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)
Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...
متن کاملRainfall-runoff modelling using artificial neural networks (ANNs): modelling and understanding
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...
متن کاملDesign of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks
During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
