Representative 72 hr TSI forecasts over the test period: the proposed SOM–AE–LSTM (a), SOM–LSTM (b), and persistence (c). Note that 72 hr is the only horizon at which the full SOM–AE–LSTM is the best of the four variants (result (iv)). At this horizon, all models explain little of the observed variance (R2 < 0 for all), and the comparison is one of relative error magnitude rather than predictive skill.
