Performance of the NeQuick 2 model during the geomagnetic storm
Abstract
The
aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of NeQuick 2 model during
geomagnetic storm process. For this purpose, vertical total electron content
(VTEC) values obtained from NeQuick 2 model and GPS (Global Positioning System)
receiver were compared for five stations selected from 5 different latitude
regions during 05-09 September 2017. Comparison was made by correlation, root
mean square error (RMSE) and difference taking methods. The variation of VTEC values
obtained by NeQuick 2 and GPS is generally similar, although there are phase
shifts and amplitude differences. The maximum correlation was observed in the
equator region on the quiet days before the storm (September 5-6), but the
correlation coefficient decreased as it moved away from the equator. The
maximum correlation coefficient was calculated at the mid-latitude of the
southern hemisphere during the initial, main and return phases of the storm. In
addition, the lowest correlation was determined at high latitudes of the
northern hemisphere. At all stations (except NYAL station on 05, 07, 08 /
09/2017), the maximum value of the calculated difference is smaller than the
minimum value. When the GPS VTEC values are higher than the NeQuick 2 model
values, the difference is generally low, on the contrary when the NeQuick 2
model values are greater than the GPS VTEC values, the difference is quite
large. This shows that the NeQuick 2 model generally overestimates the TEC
values
