Flare Prediction, Photospheric Magnetic Field, Sequential Supervised Learning Method

Scientific paper

Solar flares are powered by the energy stored in magnetic fields, so evolutionary information of the magnetic field is important for short-term prediction of solar flares. However, the existing solar flare prediction models only use the current information of the active region. A sequential supervised learning method is introduced to add the evolutionary information of the active region into a prediction model. The maximum horizontal gradient, the length of the neutral line, and the number of singular points extracted from SOHO/MDI longitudinal magnetograms are used in the model to describe the nonpotentiality and complexity of the photospheric magnetic field. The evolutionary characteristics of the predictors are analyzed by using autocorrelation functions and mutual information functions. The analysis results indicate that a flare is influenced by the 3-day photospheric magnetic field information before flare eruption. A sliding-window method is used to add evolutionary information of the predictors into machine learning algorithms, then C4.5 decision tree and learning vector quantization are employed to predict the flare level within 48 hours. Experimental results indicate that the performance of the short-term solar flare prediction model within the sequential supervised learning framework is significantly improved.
