太阳活动区EUV图像的生成式模型耀斑分级与预报

open access: yesKongjian kexue xuebao, 2023
近年来,不断发射的空基观测台持续传送回海量日面图像及日地间气象数据,为采用人工智能技术对太阳活动进行预报预警提供了数据基础。但是,极端天气爆发少,样本量较少;中等程度爆发稍多,样本量较多;常规无爆发天气常见,样本较为集中,样本不均衡状况严重影响机器学习方法在空间天气领域的广泛应用。本文面向多源多通道多尺度日面图像信息,构建了来自SOHO和SDO的1996-2015年日面活动区图像数据集;针对数据分布的不平衡,对太阳活动区图像作耀斑分级与预报。在对比分析元学习算法的基础上 ...
