An increasing number of cities subject to hazardous summer weather in the United States and Canada have begun to develop and implement hot weather response plans to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths. In this study we focus on heat-mortality relationships in Toronto, Ontario, between 1980 and 1996 and evaluate the potential effectiveness of the city's interim hot weather-health response ...

Canadian Weather Analysis Using Connectionist Learning Paradigms

In this paper, we present a comparative study of different neural network models for forecasting the weather of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. For developing the models, we used one year’s data comprising of daily maximum and minimum temperature and wind-speed. We used a Multi-Layered Perceptron (MLP) and an Elman Recurrent Neural Network (ERNN) trained using the one-step-secant and Leven...
