Development of an Unattended Ionosphere–Geomagnetism Monitoring System with Dual-Adversarial AI for Remote Mid–High-Latitude Regions

To address coverage gaps in high-latitude space weather monitoring caused by constraints in energy, bandwidth, and labeled samples, this study presents a systematic solution deployed in Hailar, China. We constructed a Cloud–Edge–Terminal system featuring wind–solar hybrid energy and RK3588-based edge computing, achieving six months of stable ionospheric–geomagnetic observation under −40 °C. Furthermore, we propose a Dual-Adversarial Recurrent Autoencoder (DA-RAE) for anomaly detection. Utilizing a single-source domain strategy, the model learns physical manifolds from quiet-day data, enabling zero-shot anomaly perception in the unsupervised target domain. Field tests in March 2025 demonstrated superior generalized anomaly detection capabilities, successfully identifying both transient space weather events and environmental equipment faults (baseline drifts). This work validates the value of edge intelligence for autonomous operations in extreme environments, providing a reproducible paradigm for global ground-based networks.

Abstract

To address coverage gaps in high-latitude space weather monitoring caused by constraints in energy, bandwidth, and labeled samples, this study presents a systematic solution deployed in Hailar, China. We constructed a Cloud–Edge–Terminal system featuring wind–solar hybrid energy and RK3588-based edge computing, achieving six months of stable ionospheric–geomagnetic observation under −40 °C. Furthermore, we propose a Dual-Adversarial Recurrent Autoencoder (DA-RAE) for anomaly detection. Utilizing a single-source domain strategy, the model learns physical manifolds from quiet-day data, enabling zero-shot anomaly perception in the unsupervised target domain. Field tests in March 2025 demonstrated superior generalized anomaly detection capabilities, successfully identifying both transient space weather events and environmental equipment faults (baseline drifts). This work validates the value of edge intelligence for autonomous operations in extreme environments, providing a reproducible paradigm for global ground-based networks.
