The analysis has been carried out by comparing both the intermediate levels of the cloud mask such as the brightness tempe...

In this paper, we consider incorporating data associated with the sun’s north and south polar field strengths to improve solar flare prediction performance using machine learning models. When used supplement local from active regions on photospheric magnetic of sun, provides global information predictor. While such features have been previously proposed for predicting next cycle’s intensity, in...
