ABSTRACT
The research is focused on the development o f automatic detection method of abnor mal features, that occur in recorded
time series of ionosphere critical frequency fOF2 during periods of high solar or seismic activity. The method is based
on joint application of wavelet-transformation and neural networks. On the basis of wavelet transformation algorithms
for the detection of features and estimation of their parameters were developed. Detection and analysis of characteristic
components of time series are performed on the basis of joint application of wavelet transformation and neural networks.
Method's approbation is performed on fOF2 data obtained at the observatory “Paratunka” (Paratunka settlement,
Ka mchatskiy Kray).
Keywords: Wavelet Transformation; Neural Networks; Critical Frequency of Ionosphere; Ab no rmalities; Earthquakes
1. Introduction
The subject of the investigationsis recorded time series
of ionospheric parameters, which include components
with different internal structure and determined by den-
sity of at mo sphere, its chemical compound and the sp ec-
tral characteristics of solar radiation [1,2]. Ionosphere
research is carried out by distant methods, one of which
is vertical radio probing. Frequency of carrier radio im-
pulse for which the given area of ionosphere becomes
transparent, is called critical (fOF2) and it characterises
electron concentration.
Against the regular changes caused by a daily and
seasonal course, abnormal features with duration from
some tens minutes till several hours [2-13] are observed
in the fOF2 data. These anomalies have various structure
and arise against powerful ionospheric disturbances
which are caused by solar activity, in seismoactive areas
they can arise during the seismic activity increase
periods [2-13]. Complex structure of the ionospheric data
makes traditional methods of the time series analysis
inefficient for their analysis and abnormalities detection,
because these methods are based on the procedure of
smoothing and lead the important information loss [2,5].
Main tools for abnormalities detection are based on the
analysis of the average and median values that does not
allow to find out internal dependences in the data and
single abnormal features.
In connection with the wide variety of basis functions
with compact carriers, wavele t-transformation is an
effective tool for complex time series analysis [3,4,14-
19]. Using the discrete wavelet-transformation construc-
tion, the algorithm allo wing to allo cate abnor mal feature s
and to define their parametres in fOF2 data in an
automatic mode is offered in this paper.
For characteristic components of fOF2 time series
detection and analysis this paper proposes the method
based on joint application of wavelet-transfor mation with
neural networks. Neural networks have well proved in
complex nonlinear dependences reproduction [6,21-23].
The efficiency of this mathematical tool application for
ionospheric d ata processing and analysis is demonstrated
in [6,11,12,22,23]. These authors offer ways o f fOF2 data
analysis and prognosis on the basis of neural networks
and show that in many respects their work result is
defined b y properties of training set. Experimental search

of suitable training set and neural network architecture is
carried out in [22,23 ]. If modelled data are complex and
noisy it is necessary to perform their preprocessing and
to solve problems of uninformative and redundant data
[5,6,13]. In [6,13] offered ways of joint application of
wavelet-transformation and neural networks for uninfor-
mative data removal, developed algorithms of training
set formation on the basis of a wavelet-filtration, and
showed that the given approach allows to optimise
process of network training and to increase length of data
anticipation interval. This paper, where the method of
fOF2 characteristic components detection and prognosis
on the basis of wavelet-packages constructio n and neura l
networks joint application is developed, is continuation
of these investigations.
In process of proposed method approbation, abnormal
features in fOF2 data, arising during the periods of
increased solar activity or caused by processes in
lithosphere (seismic events of a power class with k>12
analysis) were detected.
2. Method description
Detection of abnormal features and their parametres
definitio n on t he basis o f discrete wavelet-transforma-
tion. Formally complex time series can be presented as
sum of different-scale components with various internal
structure [5]

j
tftf )()(
, where
j
is scale.
As the
j
f
components structure is subject to change
in random time moments, the most effective way for
their description is application of approximation methods,
based on deco mposition of function on basis. Considering
analyzed features local character, their different-scale
and forms variety, the most suitable space for their
representation is wavelet-space [5,13,14].
On the basis of discrete wavelet-transformation for
j
f
components the following representation in the form of
the wavelet-scheme is obtained [14, 23]:

Without breaking general coherence, we will consider
that an initial discrete time series belong to space with
scale

The training data set is a set of observations containing

in space. During training and designing each network
learns a subset of input data features and approximates
them. " The best" networ k is t he net work ha ving t he lea st

In experiments fOF2 data were used, received by
automatic ionospheric station located in Paratunka
settlement, Kamchatka peninsula. Data recording occurs
once an hour. For experiments results of fOF2
measurements dated 1979 - 2011 were taken. In the
process of analysis, data of the Earth magnetic field
(H-component) were used to define magnetospheric
disturbances degree, characterising Solar activity. As
basic functions the class of Daubechies orthogonal
wavelets: db2, db3, db4 was used.
Following the results obtained in [3], for detection of
abnormalities on the basis of operation Equation (4)
were used the threshold values defined in the process of

The analysis of neural networks decision errors
(Equations (6), (7)) has shown that Daubechies basis
function of an order 3 provides the least fOF2 data
approximation error for the analyzed time periods. The
analysis Figure 2-5 (а) shows that during the periods of
increasing seismic activity, neural network error increase,
characterising presence of abnormal features in the data
is observed. The abnormalities detected on the basis of
discrete wavele t-transformation (Equation (4), Figure
2-5 (b)) also prove this result. The detailed analysis of
abnormalities shows that they are non-uniformly
distributed both in time and on scales and characterised
by various intensity (value

4. Conclusions
On an example of the fOF2 data for studying of time
features of ionosphere parametres and detection of
abnormalities arising during the periods of increased
solar or seismic activity, the method based o n co mbination
of wavelet-tra nsfor matio n and neural networ ks is o ffered.
Automatic algorithms of detection and analysis of
characteristic compone nts of fOF2 series are developed.
Method approbation on the data received by automatic
ionospheric station Paratunka settlement Kamchatka
peninsula, has proved its efficiency and has allowed to
detect the abnormal features arising during the periods of
solar activity increasing and on the eve of catastrophic
earthquakes on Kamchatka. The detected characteristic
components of fOF2 series have allowed to analyse
ionospheric parametres variations during the summer
period of time and their essential change during the
periods of seismic and solar activity increasing. The
detailed analysis of the allocated abnormal features has
sho wn that dur ing t he per iods of se ismic or solar activit y
increasing in variations of fOF2 series local different-
scale p er iodicities having non-uniform distribution both
on time and on scales arise.
