Tensor Solar Flare Classifier

What it does

Scores the probability of a >=C-class X-ray flare in the next 24 hours given the current tensor state. Trained on real NOAA SWPC GOES flux outcomes, not synthetic forcings.

Physics basis

Inputs include SWPC solar-wind parameters (IMF Bz, proton density, Kp), ACE L1 spacecraft data, cosmic-ray muon modulation, Schumann-resonance response to precipitating particles, ionospheric TEC, and SDO active-region tracking where available.

When it fires

Every 15 minutes. High-confidence predictions (prob >=0.40) are logged to the ledger as tensor_solar_flare_classifier.

What the customer receives

• Probability estimate every 15 min for >=M-class flare in next 24 h
• Optional >=C-class variant for high-cadence warning (lower threshold)
• Integrated Kp + aurora extent forecast
• SHA-256 signed ledger entries

Operational numbers (live)

Engagement paths

Per-query, subscription, territorial-exclusive, and royalty-on-find structures are all available. Specific commercial terms are scoped after a technical-fit conversation.

Honest caveats

• Label temporal correlation is high because a single active solar region produces many flares in sequence; effective independent sample count is lower than n=70.
• Base rate shifts with solar cycle phase -- a score measured during solar maximum does not transfer one-for-one to solar minimum.
• 24-hour lead time is shorter than the longest-lead-time flare classifiers (up to 72h).
