Abstract
The variation of ozone (O3) concentration is closely related to other meteorological factors such as temperature and wind speed, and there is significant dynamic uncertainty, making related research very complex and difficult. This paper will establish a time-space ozone prediction model based on dynamic graph convolution network to study the O3 pollution in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of China. Firstly, use an isolated forest (iForest) for anomaly detection in data preprocessing. Secondly, based on data such as wind direction, wind speed, and station geographic location, establish the diffusion distance of the wind field and construct a dynamic graph sequence accordingly. Finally, a spatio-temporal dynamic graph convolutional network (STD-GCN) based on dynamic graph sequences was established for predicting O3 concentration. The experimental results showed that STD-GCN outperformed long short-term memory (LSTM) and graph convolutional embedded LSTM (GC-LSTM). Specifically, by integrating wind field factors, STD-GCN exhibits better spatial interpretability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them.
The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
