Description

We investigate data-driven strategies for identifying and predicting geoeffective events using long-term space environment observations. The study explores different unsupervised learning approaches for detecting statistical anomalies in solar wind in-situ measurements and geomagnetic data, with the aim of enhancing our understanding of solar-terrestrial interaction. Such anomalies may correspond to precursors or signatures of geomagnetic disturbances [1], particularly when the Natural Time Analysis [2] is applied to ground-based geomagnetic indices, such as SYM-H, to refine storm onset definitions beyond conventional threshold-based approaches.
