| description |
Total Electron Content (TEC) is one of the physical quantities that can be derived from
global positioning system (GPS) data and provides an indication of ionospheric variability.
TEC variations have significant effects on radio communications, applications
involving navigational systems, GPS surveying and space weather. In order to understand
these effects, there is a need to develop forecasting techniques. Several ionospheric
models have been developed to predict the ionospheric variability at different
locations of the world. However, due to the scarcity of data in the equatorial region,
the models do not give accurate forecasting of the ionospheric variability over Malaysia
region. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the possibilities for the modeling of
TEC values derived from the GPS Ionospheric Scintillation and TEC Monitor (GISTM)
receiver using feed forward neural network (NN). It also aims to investigate the TEC
forecasting method for radio wave propagation value during both equinox and solstices
periods. Two GISTM locations at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 2�550 N, 101�460
E and National Observatory Langkawi, Kedah 6�190 N, 99�50 E are identified and used
in the development of an input space and NN design for the model. GPS TEC data
measurement from 2011 to 2015 was selected to perform regional TEC modelling over
Peninsular Malaysia, which is ascending solar cycle on solar cycle 24. TEC values and
the factors that influence its variability as dependent and independent variable respectively,
the capabilities of NN for TEC modelling were investigated. For this purpose,
TEC was modelled as a function of seasonal variation (day number), diurnal variation
(hour) and solar activity (sunspot number). The TEC data was forecasted in the seasonal,
diurnal and hourly variations. An analysis was made by comparing the TEC value
from the neural network prediction with real TEC and the TEC from the recent version
of the International Reference Ionosphere model (IRI-2012). The maximum value in
the seasonal variation was observed in June solstices with 88% and the minimum in the
September equinox, 83%. Results showed that the NN model can predict the TEC with
a maximum accuracy of 86% compared with the IRI-2012 model by 58% during equinoxes
and solstices periods. In conclusion, NN model has a potentially effective method
with a higher performance of TEC prediction in the Malaysian region compared to the
IRI-2012 model. The forecasted value is useful to radio operators in order to know the
condition of the ionosphere in advance, especially during disturbed ionospheric condition.
The outcome of this research offer a new model as a Peninsular Malaysia TEC
forecasting. |
