Abstract:

Particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 micrometers (PM10) is today an important subject of study, mainly because of its increasing concentration and its impact on environment and public health. This article summarizes the usage of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to forecast PM10 concentrations based on atmospheric variables. In this particular case-study, the use of deep convolutional neural networks (both 1D and 2D) was explored to probe the feasibility of these techniques in prediction tasks. Furthermore, in this contribution, an ensemble method called Bagging (BEM) is used to improve the accuracy of the prediction model. Lastly, a well-known technique for PM10 forecasting, called multilayer perceptron (MLP) is used as a comparison to show the feasibility, accuracy, and robustness of the proposed model. In this contribution, it was found that the CNNs outperforms MLP, especially when they are executed using ensemble models.
