The accurate prediction of ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) is important for global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), satellite communications and other space communications applications. In this study, a prediction model of global IGS‐TEC maps are established based on testing several different long short‐term memory (LSTM) network (LSTM)‐based algorithms to explore a direction that can effectively alleviate the increasing error with prediction time. We find that a Multi‐step auxiliary algorithm based prediction model performs best. It can effectively predict the global ionospheric IGS‐TEC in the next 6 days (the mean absolute deviation (MAD) and root mean square error (RMSE) are 2.485 and 3.511 TECU, respectively) compared to the IRI (the MAD and RMSE are 4.248 and 5.593 TECU). The analyses of four geomagnetic storm events are completely separate from the time range of the training set, so as to further validate the performance of the model. The International Reference Ionosphere model is used as a reference for the performance of our predictive model, and a rotated persistence is estimated by time‐shift algorithm of IGS‐TEC. The result suggests that the Multi‐step auxiliary prediction model has a good generalization performance and can have a relatively good stability and low error during a geomagnetic storm and quiet time.

“…Te solar parameters that afect TEC are solar radio fux F10.7 and sunspot number (SSN). Planetary index (Kp, Ap) and Disturbance storm time index (Dst) are used as geomagnetic parameters in the study of ionospheric TEC variations [23][24][25][26]. Also, the interplanetary magnetic feld (IMF) data By and Bz along with plasma speed (Vp) and proton density (Np) have shown to yield better results in prediction of TEC maps [27].…”

The ionospheric state is becoming increasingly important to forecast for the reliable operation of terrestrial and space-based radio-communication systems which are influenced by ionospheric space weather. In this study, we have investigated and tested a multivariate long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning model for its forecasting accuracy over different latitudinal regions during the solar quiet and solar active years. We also tested its prediction capability during the occurrence of a geomagnetic storm. Four stations qaq1 (60.7°N, 46.04°W), baie (49.18°N, 68.26°W), mas1 (27.76°N, 15.63°W), and bogt (4.64°N, 74.08°W) in the northern hemisphere were used in this study. To optimize the feature extraction process, we used heat map to find the correlation between TEC and the various exogenous parameters and finally nine correlated parameters were used as inputs to train the LSTM model. The performance of the LSTM model was validated by comparing it with the multilayer perceptron (MLP) machine learning algorithm using root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) as evaluation indices. The results showed an accuracy improvement of 70% and 64% over MLP during the solar quiet and active years, respectively. The prediction accuracy of our LSTM model was also 74% better than MLP during the geomagnetic storm event. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed LSTM model and the right selection of the exogenous parameters in estimating TEC, and suggest that this LSTM model can be used for short-term TEC forecasting.
