Ionogram is the conventional data of ionospheric sounding by ionosonde on the ground. The amount of data is large. Various parameters of the ionosphere need to be scaled one by one to obtain. Traditionally, manual scaling is required but it is time-consuming, laborious and error-prone. It is imperative to realize computer-assisted manual scaling potential. Herein a deep-learning method for ionogram automatic scaling (DIAS) is presented, and the method is based on the U-shaped structure and using the characteristic pyramid with horizontal connection as the connection, using the data of manual scaling to generate the model sample data, and then randomly select part of the data as the training data input, so that the predicted value of the model gradually approaches the true value by constantly updating the parameters. The results show that compared with Automatic Real-Time Ionogram Scaling with True-height (ARTIST), the accuracy and recall rate of DIAS are improved by 8% and 17% respectively, and the results of DIAS are similar to those of manual scaling. This results shows that ionograms provided by deep-learning method can be applied to real-time global ionospheric weather nowcasting.
通过比较不同主干下DIAS模型及ARTIST的精度、召回率、F分数、最大临界频率(mean absolute deviation of maximum critical frequency, D-MCF)和最小有效高度(mean absolute deviation of minimum effective height, D-MEH)的平均绝对偏差来评估DIAS性能,选择最佳主干.
