Short summary
We design a new non-linear model to construct an accurate relationship between auroral oval boundaries and 18 space physical parameters, and explore the influence of every single space physical parameter on auroral oval boundary in this paper. As a result, we found the combination of some space physical parameters can strengthen each other's influence on aurora oval boundary prediction, and this model can achieve the best performance when only partial space physical parameters are used as input.
