Solar Flare Forecasting Labels

Dataset Summary

This dataset provides binary labels for solar flare forecasting using a rolling window approach. Labels are generated based on both the maximum flare intensity and the cumulative flare intensity observed within each window. The data spans from 2010 to 2024 and is derived from NOAA GOES flare event listings.

Supported Tasks and Applications

  • binary-classification: Predict whether a given time window will contain a flare
    • Maximum intensity: greater than or equals to M1.0.
    • Cumulative intensity: greather than or equals to 10.

Dataset Structure

Data Files

  • train.csv: Data from weeks 7–52 of each year (2010–2019, day index [42:-1])
  • val.csv: Data from weeks 3–4 of each year (2010–2019, day index [14:28])
  • test.csv: Data from weeks 1–52 of each year (2020–2024, day index [:])
  • val_data_leaky.csv: Data from weeks 1–2 and 5–6 of each year (2010–2019, day index [0:14])

Features

  • Applies a rolling time window (24h window) to generate:
    • label_max: Binary label (max_goes_class ≥ M1.0)
    • label_cum: Binary label (cumulative_index ≥ 10)
  • Splits dataset based on weeks
  • Supports optional filtering using an external index (e.g., image availability in SuryaBench)

Data Format

Each labeled record includes:

{
  "timestep": "2013-02-01T00:00:00",
  "label_max": 1,
  "label_cum": 1
}
