LSTIDs Forecasting with the Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT)

The LSTIDs Forecasting with the Temporal Fusion Transformer code utilizes a Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) to predict LSTIDs. The model incorporates features such as the auroral electrojet indices IL and IU provided by the FMI IMAGE network and the Gradient GNSS TEC Activity Index provided by DLR. The labels are the Spectral Energy Contribution (Spcont) for detected LSTIDs over Digisonde stations (in this case data from the Juliusruh Digisonde are used) calculated with the HF Interferometry method. A forecasting model for each Digisonde station, i.e., Sopron, Juliusruh, Durbes, Ebro, trained over different time periods is provided. The output of each model is the forecasted prediction of the model, given a forecast horizon interval of 5 min and a threshold of .7.
