Data-derived forecasting model for relativistic electron intensity at geosynchronous orbit

چکیده
[1] In this paper we present a data-derived model of relativistic electron flux at geosynchronous orbit. The model is driven by multiple solar wind and magnetospheric inputs and combines the deterministic approach of nonlinear dynamics with conditional probability consideration. The model is used for one-day predictions of daily flux maxima for the years 1995–2000. The deterministic part of the model yields average prediction efficiency of 0.77 and linear correlation coefficient of 0.89. It identifies solar wind velocity and SymH index as most relevant input parameters. The probabilistic part of the model quantifies the risks of deviations from deterministic predictions as a function of average solar wind and magnetosphere conditions.

Forecasting relativistic electron flux using dynamic multiple regression models
The forecast of high energy electron fluxes in the radiation belts is important because the exposure of modern spacecraft to high energy particles can result in significant damage to onboard systems. A comprehensive physical model of processes related to electron energisation that can be used for such a forecast has not yet been developed. In the present paper a systems identification approach ...
متن کاملQuantitative forecast of relativistic electron flux at geosynchronous orbit based on low-energy electron flux
[1] A strong correlation between the behavior of low-energy (tens to hundreds of keV) and high-energy (>1 MeV) electron fluxes measured at geosynchronous orbit has been discussed, and this correlation is further enhanced when a time offset is taken into account. A model has been developed incorporating this delay time between similar features in lowand high-energy electron fluxes to forecast th...

accelerating relativistic outer-belt electrons in the aftermath of geomagnetic storms. Using measurements from the Los Alamos Magnetospheric Plasma Analyzers in geosynchronous orbit, we perform a superposed-epoch study of the storm-time behavior of the inferred plasma-sheet whistler growth parameter. Separate analyses are done for storms that result in strong relativistic electron enhancements ...
متن کاملFeatures of energetic particle radial profiles inferred from geosynchronous responses to solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements
Determination of the radial profile of phase space density of relativistic electrons at constant adiabatic invariants is crucial for identifying the source for them within the outer radiation belt. The commonly used method is to convert flux observed at fixed energy to phase space density at constant first, second and third adiabatic invariants, which requires an empirical global magnetic field...
متن کاملProbing the solar wind-inner magnetospheric coupling: validation of relativistic electron flux models
High fluxes of relativistic electrons in the inner magnetosphere have been associated with a range of spacecraft anomalies, and therefore the modeling of the flux is of direct relevance to the development of space weather applications. Time variations of the electron flux at a given L shell are ultimately functions of interplanetary parameters as well as of internal magnetospheric dynamics. It ...
