Global Ionospheric TEC Map Prediction Based on Multichannel ED-PredRNN by Haijun Liu, Yan Ma, Huijun Le, Liangchao Li, Rui Zhou, Jian Xiao, Weifeng Shan, Zhongxiu Wu, Yalan Li

“…The highlights of our work include the following: (1) for the first time, a dual memory mechanism was utilized in TEC prediction, which can more fully capture the temporal and spatial features; (2) we modified the n vs. n structure of original PredRNN to an encoder–decoder structure, so as to handle the problem of unequal input and output lengths in TEC prediction; and (3) we expanded the feature channels by extending the Kp, Dst, and F10.7 to the same spatiotemporal resolution as global TEC maps, overlaying them together to form multichannel features, so as to fully utilize the influence of solar and geomagnetic activities on TEC. …”
