Abstract:

In the application of global navigation satellite system (GNSS), the ionosphere vertical total electron content (VTEC) is an important parameter that directly determines the ionosphere delay error. In order to improve its short-term prediction accuracy, a time series prediction model fused with the wavelet decomposition and Prophet framework is proposed on the basis of considering the influence of geomagnetic disturbance. The comparative experiments are carried out based on the global ionosphere model (GIM) grid data. The indicator of root mean square error, mean absolute error and mean absolute percentage error are used to evaluate the prediction results and analyze the prediction residual. The results show that under different conditions (ionosphere quiet period and active period), the prediction accuracy of the model is higher, which is better than the unimproved Prophet frame, significantly better than the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, and has good applicability in middle and high latitudes.

Key words: ionosphere vertical total electron content, time series prediction, wavelet decomposition, Prophet framework, geomagnetic disturbance
