Different algorithms have been proposed for the modeling of the ionosphere. The most frequently used method is based on the spherical harmonic functions achieving successful results for global modeling but not for the local and regional applications due to the bounded spherical harmonic representation. Irregular data distribution and data gaps cause also difficulties in the global modeling of the ionosphere. In this paper we propose an efficient algorithm with Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) to represent a new non-parametric approach for regional spatio-temporal mapping of the ionospheric electron density using ground-based GPS observations. MARS can handle very large data sets of observations and is an adaptive and flexible method, which can be applied to both linear and non-linear problems. The basis functions are directly obtained from the observations and have space partitioning property resulting in an adaptive model. This property helps to avoid numerical problems and computational inefficiency caused by the number of coefficients, which has to be increased to detect the local variations of the ionosphere. Since the fitting procedure is additive it does not require gridding and is able to process large amounts of data with large gaps. Additionally the model complexity can be controlled by the user via limiting the maximal number of coefficients and the order of products of the basis functions. In this study the MARS algorithm is applied to real data sets over Europe for regional ionosphere modeling. The results are compared with the results of Bernese GPS Software over the same region.

Forecasting magnetopause crossing locations by using Neural Networks
Tulunay, Yurdanur; Sibeck, DG; Senalp, ET; Tulunay, E (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01)
Given the highly complex and nonlinear nature of Near Earth Space processes, mathematical modeling of these processes is usually difficult or impossible. In such cases, modeling methods involving Artificial Intelligence may be employed. We demonstrate that data driven models, such as the Neural Network based approach, shows promise in its ability to forecast or predict the behavior of these processes. In this paper, modeling studies for forecasting magnetopause crossing locations are summarized and a Neural...
The neural network technique - 2: an ionospheric example illustrating its application
Tulunay, Yurdanur; Tulunay, E; Senalp, ET (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01)
An example of modeling of Near Earth Space Processes by empoying the Neural Network Approach [Tulunay et al., Adv. Space Res., this current issue, 2003] is considered. The temporal and spatial forecasting of ionospheric critical frequency f(o)F2 values up to 24 h in advance by using the METUNN model is briefly covered. (C) 2003 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Non-parametric regional VTEC modeling with Multivariate Adaptive Regression B-Splines
Durmaz, Murat; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur (Elsevier BV, 2011-11-01)
In this work Multivariate Adaptive Regression B-Splines (BMARS) is applied to regional spatio-temporal mapping of the Vertical Total Electron Content (VTEC) using ground based Global Positioning System (GPS) observations. BMARS is a non-parametric regression technique that utilizes compactly supported tensor product B-splines as basis functions, which are automatically obtained from the observations. The algorithm uses a scale-by-scale model building strategy that searches for B-splines at each scale fittin...
The neural network technique - 1: a general exposition
Tulunay, Yurdanur; Tulunay, E; Senalp, ET (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01)
Near earth space processes are highly complex and nonlinear and mathematical modeling based on first physical principals is usually difficult or impossible. For such cases data driven modeling methods are recommended to be used in parallel with mathematical modeling approach. Highly non-linear processes in the near-earth space are advantageously dealt with using data-driven modeling techniques in the neural network (NN) approach. The only basic requirement for its application is the availability of represen...
Analytical shock jump formulae for cryogenic homogeneous two-phase nozzle flow
Akmandor, IS; Nagashima, T (Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences, 2000-08-01)
Choked flux rates and shock jump relations were calculated both analytically and computationally for a converging-diverging nozzle. High inlet stagnation pressure with a maximum of 6.45 MPa was applied to the cryogenic vapor-liquid nitrogen flow. The total inlet-to-static exit pressure ratio range was between 3.5 and 15.3. The analytical shock jump expressions, which were derived, are exact extensions of the Rankine-Hugoniot single-phase gas dynamic relations. Accordingly, a consistent agreement was obtaine...
