IonoBench: Evaluating Spatiotemporal Models for Ionospheric Forecasting under Solar-Balanced and Storm-Aware Conditions
Published in Remote Sensing (MDPI)

Contents

Each model folder contains:

• Best Checkpoint
  Format: MODELNAME_SessionNAME_best_checkpoint_yyyymmdd_hhmm.pth
  Example: SimVP_AllFeatures/model_best.pth

• Training Logs
  Format: MODELNAME_SessionNAME_lrXX_bsXX_yyyymmdd_hhmm.txt
  Example: SimVP_AllFeatures/training_log.txt

• Test Results
  Format: testing_info_yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm.txt
  Contains evaluation metrics such as RMSE, R², and SSIM on test and storm periods

Notes

• Original configuration files are included and reflect the training settings used.
• A layered configuration structure (base → model → mode → CLI) was adopted later for improved usability.
• The pretrained models are intended for reproducibility and evaluation; training tutorials and CLI tools are available on the GitHub page.
