- 采用序列到序列LSTM模型,对比不同输入与预测方式。
- 单步预测误差低于递归预测,趋势平滑后多源输入效果更优。
- 数据预处理与模型结构选择同样关键,适合空间天气研究者。
太阳质子事件(SPE)对卫星、宇航员及技术系统构成重大辐射威胁,准确预测其质子通量时间曲线对早期预警至关重要。本文基于长短期记忆网络,探索深度学习序列到序列模型,用于预测日地观测中40个完整太阳质子事件(1997–2017年,来自NOAA GOES)在≥M级西半球太阳耀斑后24小时的质子通量。采用4折分层交叉验证,评估多种配置:(i) 仅质子输入 vs. 质子+软X射线联合输入,(ii) 原始数据 vs. 趋势平滑数据,(iii) 自回归预测 vs. 单步预测。主要发现:一、单步预测误差显著低于自回归方法,避免误差累积;二、原始数据下,仅质子输入模型表现更优;但趋势平滑后,质子+X射线模型性能提升,差距缩小或逆转;三、趋势平滑有效缓解了X射线通道波动对模型的影响;四、尽管趋势平滑训练模型平均表现最佳,但最优模型仍由原始数据训练得出,表明模型结构选择有时可超越预处理优势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Solar Proton Events (SPEs) cause significant radiation hazards to satellites, astronauts, and technological systems. Accurate forecasting of their proton flux time profiles is crucial for early warnings and mitigation. This paper explores deep learning sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models based on Long Short-Term Memory networks to predict 24-hour proton flux profiles following SPE onsets. We used a dataset of 40 well-connected SPEs (1997-2017) observed by NOAA GOES, each associated with a >=M-class western-hemisphere solar flare and undisturbed proton flux profiles. Using 4-fold stratified cross-validation, we evaluate seq2seq model configurations (varying hidden units and embedding dimensions) under multiple forecasting scenarios: (i) proton-only input vs. combined proton+X-ray input, (ii) original flux data vs. trend-smoothed data, and (iii) autoregressive vs. one-shot forecasting. Our major results are as follows: First, one-shot forecasting consistently yields lower error than autoregressive prediction, avoiding the error accumulation seen in iterative approaches. Second, on the original data, proton-only models outperform proton+X-ray models. However, with trend-smoothed data, this gap narrows or reverses in proton+X-ray models. Third, trend-smoothing significantly enhances the performance of proton+X-ray models by mitigating fluctuations in the X-ray channel. Fourth, while models trained on trendsmoothed data perform best on average, the best-performing model was trained on original data, suggesting that architectural choices can sometimes outweigh the benefits of data preprocessing.
