CLARE: Classification-based Regression for Electron Temperature Prediction

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.12470v1 Announce Type: cross Electron temperature (Te) is an important parameter governing space weather in the upper atmosphere, but has historically been underexplored in the space weather machine learning literature. We present CLARE, a machine learning model for predicting electron temperature in the Earth's plasmasphere trained on AKEBONO (EXOS-D) satellite measurements as well as solar and geomagnetic indices. CLARE uses a classification-based regression architecture that transforms the continuous Te output space into 150 discrete classification intervals.
