Local Real-time Forecasting of Ozone Exposure using Temperature Data

چکیده
Rigorous and prompt assessment of ambient ozone exposure is important for informing the public about ozone levels that may lead to adverse health effects. In this paper, we make use of hierarchical modeling to forecast 8-hour average ozone exposure. Our contribution is to show how incorporating temperature data in addition to observed ozone can significantly improve forecast accuracy, as measured by predictive mean squared error and empirical coverage. Furthermore, our model meets the objective of forecasting in real-time. These advantages are illustrated through modeling data collected at the Village Green monitoring station in Durham, North Carolina.

Forecasting Ozone Density in Tehran Air Using a Smart Data-Driven Approach
Introduction: As a metropolitan area in Iran, Tehran is exposed to damage from air pollution due to its large population and pollutants from various sources. Accordingly, research on damage induced by air pollution in this city seems necessary. The main purpose of this study was to forecast ozone in the city of Tehran. Considering the hazards of ozone (O3) gas on human health and the environmen...
متن کاملForecasting Models for Predicting Ozone Levels Near Cincinnati, Ohio
This paper presents the development of two empirical ozone-forecasting models for predicting hourly ozone concentrations near Cincinnati, Ohio. This study examined the hourly ozone data collected between 1995 and 1999 at an ozone monitoring station in the Cincinnati area. Two different models, the KZ model and the NN model, were developed using data from 1995 to 1998. The KZ model was developed...
متن کاملSome New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...
متن کاملGlobal ozone forecasting
The availability of near-real time ozone observations from satellite instruments has recently initiated the development of ozone data assimilation systems. In this paper we present the results of an ozone assimilation and forecasting system, in use since Autumn 2000. The forecasts are produced by an ozone transport and chemistry model, 5 driven by the operational medium range forecasts of ECMWF...
