Abstract
We use a prevailed technique to extract image features and classify 4
seasons of aurora all sky images, combine these with Solar wind and
interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data and use this as a basis to
forecast the onset of geomagnetic substorms local to the imager. To
prove the viability of our model, we successfully reproduce the results
of a previous study which used only Solar wind and IMF data to forecast
global substorm onsets. Although this viability test proves successful
and we independently confirm the previous model, our expanded model
fails to deliver the necessary performance required for it to be used
for accurate localised substorm forecasting.
