چکیده
در این مقاله ایده استفاده از مدل شبکه عصبی حافظه کوتاه مدت طولانی (LSTM) به منظور مدل سازی و پیش بینی سری زمانی یونوسفر در دوره فعالیت های شدید خورشیدی به عنوان یک روش جدید ارائه شده است. با استفاده از مدل جدید مقدار محتوای الکترون کلی (TEC) مدل سازی شده و سپس تغییرات زمانی آن در دوره فعالیت های شدید خورشیدی و ژئومغناطیسی (سال 2017) پیش بینی می شود. برای بررسی کارائی روش مورد اشاره، از مشاهدات ایستگاه GPS تهران (N35/69 ، E51/33) که یکی از ایستگاه های شبکه جهانی IGS می باشد، استفاده شده است. مشاهدات سال های 2007 الی 2016 برای آموزش مدل مورد نظر به کار گرفته شده و سپس با مدل آموزش دیده، سری زمانی TEC در سال 2017 پیش بینی می شوند. نتایج حاصل از مدل جدید با نتایج حاصل از مدل شبکه عصبی رگرسیون عمومی (GRNN)، مدل تجربی NeQuick و خروجی شبکه جهانی IGS (GIM-TEC) مقایسه شده است. همچنین از شاخص های آماری ضریب همبستگی، خطای نسبی و جذر خطای مربعی میانگین (RMSE) به منظور بررسی دقت و صحت مدل ها استفاده می شود. مقدار RMSE به دست آمده برای مدل های LSTM، GRNN، GIM و NeQuick در مرحله تست سال 2017 به ترتیب برابر با 2/87، 4/51، 4/14 و 6/38 TECU می باشد. آنالیز مؤلفه های مختصاتی ایستگاه تهران با روش تعیین موقعیت نقطه ای دقیق (PPP) نشان می دهد که با استفاده از مدل جدید، بهبودی در حدود 5/19 الی 56/23 میلیمتر در مختصات ایستگاه نسبت به سایر مدل ها دیده می شود. نتایج حاصل از این تحقیق نشان می دهد که دقت و صحت مدل LSTM برای پیش بینی مقدار TEC در دوره فعالیت های شدید خورشیدی و ژئومغناطیسی، در مقایسه با مدل های GRNN، NeQuick و GIM بیشتر است.Efficiency of long-short term memory neural network model in prediction of ionosphere time series and comparison with GRNN, GIM and NeQuick
Extended AbstractIntroduction The ionosphere extends from an altitude of 80 to more than 1000 km above the earth. Due to its electrical properties, this layer of the atmosphere has very important and fundamental effects on the electromagnetic waves passing through it. A parameter that can be used to study the ionosphere is the total electron content (TEC). This parameter is the sum of free electrons in a cylinder with a cross section of one square meter between the satellite and the receiver on the ground. The unit of TEC is electron per square meter (ele/m2). The TEC in the vertical direction is called VTEC. Usually, TEC is expressed in terms of TECU, which is equal to 1016 ele/m2.Different methods have been developed to model the TEC. The simplest and most practical method is to use observations of two-frequency receivers. If there is a proper station distribution, it is possible to obtain accurate TEC and model the ionosphere. The main innovation of this paper is in the long-term prediction of TEC in the period of severe solar activity, as well as the modeling of the ionosphere time series with the long-short term memory (LSTM) neural network model in the Iranian region. This model is used for the first time in Iran to model and predict the time series of the ionosphere. To check the capability of the new model in prediction of TEC in the conditions of severe solar activity, observations from 2007 to 2016 are used for training and the TEC in 2017 is predicted. All the observations are related to the Tehran GPS station, which is one of the stations of the IGS network. To evaluate the accuracy of the model presented in this paper, statistical indicators of relative error, correlation coefficient and root mean square error (RMSE) are used. Materials and MethodsLong-short term memory modelLong short-term memory (LSTM) neural network is a special type of recurrent neural network (RNN). RNN is a type of neural network that has internal memory; in other words, this network is a normal neural network that has a loop in its structure through which the output of the previous step, along with the new input, is entered into the network at each step. This loop helps the network to have the previous information along with the new information and can calculate the desired output based on this information’s. One of the problems of RNNs is the vanishing of the gradient when learning from long-term sequences, which reduces the ability to learn in the algorithm. LSTM networks are actually a type of RNNs that have had a change in their block (RNN Unit). This change makes LSTM recurrent neural networks able to manage long-term memory and not have the problem of gradient vanishing. Results and DiscussionAfter the training step, using the trained models, the VTEC value for 2017 has been estimated and compared with the VTEC values obtained from GPS as a reference observation, GIM and NeQuick models. For the test step, the parameters of correlation coefficient, RMSE and relative error were calculated and presented in table (1). It should be noted that the average of all days of 2017 is showed in this table. Also, VTEC values obtained from GPS are considered as reference observations in this table.Table 1. Statistical values of correlation coefficient, RMSE and relative error in the test step of 2017 for GRNN, LSTM, GIM and NeQuick models.The correlation coefficient value of LSTM model is higher than other models. Also, the values of RMSE and relative error of LSTM model are lower than other models. This model has the ability to show the ionosphere time series variations with an accuracy of about 87%. ConclusionAnalysis of the results of the correlation coefficient in 2017 for LSTM, GRNN, NeQuick and GIM models compared to the GPS-TEC was obtained as 0.84, 0.72, 0.77 and 0.71, respectively. The average annual relative error for these four models was calculated as 16.98%, 25.69%, 29.89% and 51.05% respectively. The results of the analysis showed that in the conditions of severe and quiet solar and geomagnetic activities, the accuracy and precision of the LSTM model is higher than the other models evaluated in this paper. The analysis of the coordinate components of Tehran station with PPP method showed that by using the model proposed in this paper, an improvement of about 5.19 to 56.23 mm can be seen in the coordinates of the station compared to other models.
