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 Network algorithm is presented to describe the nonlinear time-dependent response of the subsolar region of the magnetopause to varying solar wind conditions. In our approach the past history of the solar wind has, for the first time to the best knowledge of the authors, been included in forecasting the subsolar region of the magnetopause. It is proposed that the data driven approach is a valid approach to understanding and modeling the physical phenomena of Near Earth Space. The only basic requirement for the data driven approach is the availability of representative data for the phenomena. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that by using WIND and GEOTAIL satellite data a Neural Network based model can be adapted to the modeling of the Earth's magnetopause. (c) 2004 COSPAR.

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...
Regional VTEC modeling with multivariate adaptive regression splines Durmaz, Murat; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Nohutcu, Metin (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-15) 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)...
Nonlinear flutter calculations using finite elements in a direct Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation Seber, Guclu; Bendiksen, Oddvar O. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2008-06-01) A fully nonlinear aeroelastic formulation of the direct Eulerian-Lagrangian computational scheme is presented in which both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities are treated without approximations. The method is direct in the sense that the calculations are done at the finite element level, both in the fluid and structural domains, and the fluid-structure system is time-marched as a single dynamic system using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. The exact nonlinear boundary condition at the fluid-structure...
Forecasting total electron content maps by neural network technique Tulunay, Ersin; Senalp, Erdem Turker; Radicella, Sandro Maria; Tulunay, Yurdanur (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2006-08-17) [ 1] Near-Earth space processes are highly nonlinear. Since the 1990s, a small group at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara has been working on a data-driven generic model of such processes, that is, forecasting and nowcasting of a near-Earth space parameter of interest. The model developed is called the Middle East Technical University Neural Network (METU-NN) model. The METU-NN is a data-driven neural network model of one hidden layer and several neurons. In order to understand more about the c...
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.
