MISA Seminar (May 3, 2022): "Machine Learning Prediction of Global Ionospheric TEC and High-latitude ROTI Maps"
In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have become a promising and effective tool to predict ionospheric total electron content (TEC) and irregularities. This seminar presents an image-based convolutional long short-term memory (convLSTM) ML algorithm to predict global TEC and storm-time high-latitude rate of TEC index (ROTI) maps.

Satellite in low-Earth-orbit
How does Space Weather impact satellites and debris in Low-Earth Orbit?

Jan. 7, 2022

Space weather is the main source of uncertainty in the location of satellites and debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). All objects in LEO orbit through the region of the Earth’s upper atmosphere called the “Thermosphere”. As solar conditions change, the thermosphere swells and shrinks, causing variable drag forces on orbiting objects. During an extreme geomagnetic storm, these forces could lead to dramatic changes in the orbits of all objects in LEO leading to a much higher risk of collision.
