Automated forecasts serve important role in space weather science, by providing statistical insights to flare-trigger mechanisms, and by enabling tailor-made forecasts and high-frequency forecasts. We have been operating unmanned flare forecast service since August, 2015 that provides 24-hour-ahead forecast of solar flares, every 12 minutes. We report the method and prediction results of the system. Figure 1. A screenshot from our forecast website. The blue curve is the observed Solar X-ray Flux (1-8 Å). The red dots are our forecast of the 24-hour future maxima of the Solar X-ray Flux. The pale red curve indicates the correct prediction, in retrospect. Our ideal goal is to have all the red dots on the pale red curve.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
