The approach provides probabilistic forecasts of solar power ramp events with uncertainty analysis.
This document discusses using a seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model to forecast precipitation in Mt. Kenya region. It fits various SARIMA models to monthly precipitation data from 1970 to 2011 and selects the best model with the lowest AIC and BIC values. The best model was found to be SARIMA(1,0,1)x(1,0,0)12, which had two statistically significant variables and passed diagnostic checks. Forecast accuracy statistics for this model, including ME, MSE, RMSE and MAE, indicated the SARIMA model provides a good method for precipitation forecasting in Mt. Kenya region.
A framework for cloud cover prediction using machine learning with data imput...IJECEIAES
The climatic conditions of a region are affected by multiple factors. These factors are dew point temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction. These factors are closely related to each other. In this paper, the correlation between these factors is studied and an approach has been proposed for data imputation. The idea is to utilize all these features to obtain the prediction of the total cloud cover of a region instead of removing the missing values. Total cloud cover prediction is significant because it affects the agriculture, aviation, and energy sectors. Based on the imputed data which is obtained as the output of the proposed method, a machine learning-based model is proposed. The foundation of this proposed model is the bi-directional approach of the long short-term memory (LSTM) model. It is trained for 8 stations for two different approaches. In the first approach, 80% of the entire data is considered for training and 20% of the data is considered for testing. In the second approach, 90% of the entire data is accounted for training and 10% of the data is accounted for testing. It is observed that in the first approach, the model gives less error for prediction.

At present, with the development of wind power project in China, there are more and more projects located at the complex terrain and complex environment. At the same time, since the large planned area of project, the complex mountain area, and limited number of met mast, even without met mast, in order to the reliable development of the wind power project, it is important that how to do the wind resource assessment without actual measurement wind data and other conditions such as less reliable wind data, and the met mast was not considered representative. This paper will use the atmospheric model to do mesoscale simulation calculation of wind resources, and then combine with CFD technology to downscaling computation to get high resolution wind power assessment result. Finally, in order to confirm the validity of this application in the actual project, the comparison between calculation values and measurement values is carried out. The verification result through the actual data of different met mast shows that the wind resource assessment method which combines the CFD and mesoscale technologies is reliable. The main contribution of the article is to provide the reference model and approach for regional planning and large scale wind resource assessment when there isn’t enough adequate and effective wind data.

This document compares the performance of two methods for forecasting solar radiation intensity: Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR). It uses weather data from Basel, Switzerland to test the methods. The ANFIS method uses a fuzzy inference system combined with neural networks, while MLR uses a mathematical approach. The performance of both methods is evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) across different training/testing data compositions and time periods. The results show that ANFIS consistently provides lower error values than MLR, indicating it provides more accurate solar radiation forecasts.

A Land Data Assimilation System Utilizing Low Frequency Passive Microwave Rem...drboon
To address the gap in bridging global and smaller modelling scales, downscaling approaches have been reported as an appropriate solution. Downscaling on its own is not wholly adequate in the quest to produce local phenomena, and in this paper we use a physical downscaling method combined with data assimilation strategies, to obtain physically consistent land surface condition prediction. Using data assimilation strategies, it has been demonstrated that by minimizing a cost function, a solution utilizing imperfect models and observation data including observation errors is feasible. We demonstrate that by assimilating lower frequency passive microwave brightness temperature data using a validated theoretical radiative transfer model, we can obtain very good predictions that agree well with observed conditions.
The document discusses a methodology for improving wind speed forecasts through synergizing outputs from two numerical weather prediction (NWP) models - the Global Environmental Multiscale model (GEM) and the North American Mesoscale model (NAM). Wind speed measurements from four meteorological towers are used to evaluate the individual NWP models and their combined forecasts. Results show the combined GEM-NAM forecasts reduce root mean square error by up to 20% compared to the individual models, indicating improved forecast accuracy through optimal combination of the two NWP models.

Comparative Study of Machine Learning Algorithms for Rainfall Predictionijtsrd
Majority of Indian framers depend on rainfall for agriculture. Thus, in an agricultural country like India, rainfall prediction becomes very important. Rainfall causes natural disasters like flood and drought, which are encountered by people across the globe every year. Rainfall prediction over drought regions has a great importance for countries like India whose economy is largely dependent on agriculture. A sufficient data length can play an important role in a proper estimation drought, leading to a better appraisal for drought risk reduction. Due to dynamic nature of atmosphere statistical techniques fail to provide good accuracy for rainfall prediction. So, we are going to use Machine Learning algorithms like Multiple Linear Regression, Random Forest Regressor and AdaBoost Regressor, where different models are going to be trained using training data set and tested using testing data set. The dataset which we have collected has the rainfall data from 1901 2015, where across the various drought affected states. Nonlinearity of rainfall data makes Machine Learning algorithms a better technique. Comparison of different approaches and algorithms will increase an accuracy rate of predicting rainfall over drought regions. We are going to use Python to code for algorithms. Intention of this project is to say, which algorithm can be used to predict rainfall, in order to increase the countries socioeconomic status. Mylapalle Yeshwanth | Palla Ratna Sai Kumar | Dr. G.

This document discusses a climate risk assessment of the hydropower sector in Nepal and the issues around using climate projections. It notes that Nepal has complex climate, hydrology and topography that makes future climate change highly uncertain. Some challenges in using climate projections include deep uncertainty in the projections due to data scarcity and model limitations. Downscaling and bias correction of projections is difficult due to scarce observations and current climate variability. Climate models have varying skill in modeling the Asian monsoon, especially in mountainous regions like the Himalayas. There are also communication gaps between climate scientists, hydrologists, and decision makers regarding the principles and dynamics of climate models.

This document summarizes a research paper that compares short term load forecasting using multi-linear regression and a multi-layer perceptron neural network. It first introduces short term load forecasting and the factors that influence load, such as time, weather, and customer class. It then describes traditional forecasting methods like regression and modern methods like artificial neural networks. The document focuses on using multi-linear regression as the traditional method and a multi-layer perceptron neural network as the modern method. It presents the results of applying each method and compares their performance based on mean absolute percentage error, finding that the neural network approach produced significantly less error.
Short Term Load Forecasting Using Multi Layer Perceptron IJMER
Load forecasting is the method for prediction of Electrical load. Short term load forecasting is
one of the important concerns of power system and accurate load forecasting is essential for managing
supply and demand of electricity. The basic objective of STLF is to predict the near future load for example
next hour load prediction or next day load prediction etc….There are various factors which influence the
behaviour of the consumer load. The factors that we consider in this paper are Load,Temperature, humidity,
time. The ANN is used to learn the relationship among past, current and future parameters like load, temp. In
this paper we are using Multi parameter regression and comparing the results with the Artificial Neural
network output. Finally, outcomes of the approaches are evaluated and compared by means of the Mean
absolute Percentage error (MAPE).ANN outcomes are more fairly
accurate to the actual loads than those of conventional methods. So it can be considered as the suitable tool
to deal with STLF problems.
The document discusses the goals and activities of the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) in improving polar prediction models through enhanced observational data from field sites. It describes YOPP's efforts to standardize data collection and model output across sites to facilitate direct comparisons between observations and multiple models. This includes developing common file formats, defining essential climate variables to be collected, and making both observation and model output available through a central data portal. The goals are to evaluate model performance against observations to identify areas for model improvement and advance polar prediction capabilities.
The document discusses using big data technologies for environmental forecasting and climate prediction at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). It outlines three key areas: 1) Developing capabilities for air quality forecasting using data streaming; 2) Implementing simultaneous analytics and high-performance computing for climate predictions; 3) Developing analytics as a service using platforms like the Earth System Grid Federation to provide climate data and services to users. The BSC is working on several projects applying big data, including operational air quality and dust forecasts, high-resolution city-scale air pollution modeling, and decadal climate predictions using workflows and remote data analysis.
This document discusses using machine learning to help develop subgrid parameterizations for climate models based on high-resolution simulations. It notes that while high-resolution models have progressed faster than parameterizations, humans still develop parameterizations, which is slow. The document explores using machine learning on comprehensive training datasets from high-resolution models to relate coarse-grid variables to subgrid-scale quantities needed by climate models. Challenges include making schemes stochastic, handling data outside the training range, and instability in global models. Past work applying neural networks to a cloud-resolving model dataset showed promise but has not been used prognostically. Overall, machine learning may help break the parameterization bottleneck if technical challenges can be overcome.

Rainfall data are the most significant values in hydrology and climatology modelling. However, the datasets are prone to missing values due to various issues. This study aspires to impute the rainfall missing values by using various imputation method such as Replace by Mean, Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, Non-linear Interactive Partial Least-Square (NIPALS) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Daily rainfall datasets from 48 rainfall stations across east-coast Peninsular Malaysia were used in this study. The dataset were then fed into Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) model. The performance of abovementioned methods were evaluated using Root Mean Square Method (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency Coefficient (CE). The experimental results showed that RF coupled with MLR (RF-MLR) approach was attained as more fitting for satisfying the missing data in east-coast Peninsular Malaysia.
IRJET - Intelligent Weather Forecasting using Machine Learning TechniquesIRJET Journal
This document discusses using machine learning techniques to forecast weather intelligently. It proposes using multi-target regression and recurrent neural network (RNN) models trained on historical weather data from Bangalore to predict future weather conditions like temperature, humidity, and precipitation. The data is first preprocessed before being fed to the models. The models are evaluated to accurately predict weather in the short term to help people like farmers and commuters without relying on expensive equipment.
This document describes The Climate Data Factory, a service that aims to make climate projection data easier to access and use for non-climate scientists. It notes that preparing and working with raw climate model data is currently difficult and time-consuming for most users due to issues like different grids, bias, and data volume. The Climate Data Factory addresses these problems by providing re-gridded, bias-corrected, quality-controlled climate model projections that can be easily searched and accessed through their website. This is intended to help various audiences like impact researchers, adaptation practitioners, and consulting engineers make more effective use of climate model data.
Calculation of solar radiation by using regression methodsmehmet şahin
Abstract. In this study, solar radiation was estimated at 53 location over Turkey with
varying climatic conditions using the Linear, Ridge, Lasso, Smoother, Partial least, KNN
and Gaussian process regression methods. The data of 2002 and 2003 years were used to
obtain regression coefficients of relevant methods. The coefficients were obtained based on
the input parameters. Input parameters were month, altitude, latitude, longitude and landsurface
temperature (LST).The values for LST were obtained from the data of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(NOAA-AVHRR) satellite. Solar radiation was calculated using obtained coefficients in
regression methods for 2004 year. The results were compared statistically. The most
successful method was Gaussian process regression method. The most unsuccessful method
was lasso regression method. While means bias error (MBE) value of Gaussian process
regression method was 0,274 MJ/m2, root mean square error (RMSE) value of method was
calculated as 2,260 MJ/m2. The correlation coefficient of related method was calculated as
0,941. Statistical results are consistent with the literature. Used the Gaussian process
regression method is recommended for other studies.
Time Series Data Analysis for Forecasting – A Literature ReviewIJMER
This document summarizes literature on using statistical and data mining techniques for time series forecasting, with a focus on weather prediction. Section 2 discusses various statistical techniques used in literature such as ARIMA models, exponential smoothing models, and spectral analysis methods for time series rainfall and weather forecasting. Section 3 discusses data mining techniques used for time series forecasting, including neural networks and evolutionary computation methods. Several studies applying neural networks to weather prediction are summarized.
This document discusses applications of data mining techniques to predict mesoscale weather events like tornadoes and cloudbursts. It summarizes previous research that applied data mining methods like neural networks, support vector machines, and clustering to weather prediction. For tornado prediction, studies developed spatiotemporal models to identify relationships between storm variables. Other research used mesocyclone detection algorithms and neural networks to predict tornadoes. For cloudburst prediction, clustering relative humidity and divergence from numerical models provided early formation indications. The document also briefly explains ensemble forecasting, which runs multiple forecasts from slightly different initial conditions to sample forecast uncertainty.

It notes that preparing and working with raw climate model data is currently difficult and time-consuming for most users due to issues like different grids, bias, and data volume. The Climate Data Factory addresses these problems by providing re-gridded, bias-corrected, quality-controlled climate model projections that can be easily searched and accessed through their website. This is intended to help various audiences like impact researchers, adaptation practitioners, and consulting engineers make more effective use of climate model data.
Calculation of solar radiation by using regression methodsmehmet şahin
Abstract. In this study, solar radiation was estimated at 53 location over Turkey with
varying climatic conditions using the Linear, Ridge, Lasso, Smoother, Partial least, KNN
and Gaussian process regression methods. The data of 2002 and 2003 years were used to
obtain regression coefficients of relevant methods. The coefficients were obtained based on
the input parameters. Input parameters were month, altitude, latitude, longitude and landsurface
temperature (LST).The values for LST were obtained from the data of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer
(NOAA-AVHRR) satellite. Solar radiation was calculated using obtained coefficients in
regression methods for 2004 year. The results were compared statistically. The most
successful method was Gaussian process regression method. The most unsuccessful method
was lasso regression method. While means bias error (MBE) value of Gaussian process
regression method was 0,274 MJ/m2, root mean square error (RMSE) value of method was
calculated as 2,260 MJ/m2. The correlation coefficient of related method was calculated as
0,941. Statistical results are consistent with the literature. Used the Gaussian process
regression method is recommended for other studies.
Time Series Data Analysis for Forecasting – A Literature ReviewIJMER
This document summarizes literature on using statistical and data mining techniques for time series forecasting, with a focus on weather prediction. Section 2 discusses various statistical techniques used in literature such as ARIMA models, exponential smoothing models, and spectral analysis methods for time series rainfall and weather forecasting. Section 3 discusses data mining techniques used for time series forecasting, including neural networks and evolutionary computation methods. Several studies applying neural networks to weather prediction are summarized.
This document discusses applications of data mining techniques to predict mesoscale weather events like tornadoes and cloudbursts. It summarizes previous research that applied data mining methods like neural networks, support vector machines, and clustering to weather prediction. For tornado prediction, studies developed spatiotemporal models to identify relationships between storm variables. Other research used mesocyclone detection algorithms and neural networks to predict tornadoes. For cloudburst prediction, clustering relative humidity and divergence from numerical models provided early formation indications. The document also briefly explains ensemble forecasting, which runs multiple forecasts from slightly different initial conditions to sample forecast uncertainty.
Review of Neural Network in the entired worldAhmedWasiu
This document provides a review of literature on the use of artificial neural network (ANN) models for predicting energy production from renewable sources such as solar PV, hydraulic, and wind energy. ANN models have proven effective at learning complex relationships from data and predicting values in real-time. The review focuses on how ANN models have been applied to issues like reliability assessment of energy assets and incorporating factors like meteorological conditions that impact energy production. Studies that compare ANN to other techniques or identify opportunities for complementary approaches are also discussed.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.

● Neural Networks perform radiative transfer calculations much faster than the RRTMG
LWR and SWR parameterizations they emulate:
RRTMG LWR RRTMG SWR
Average Speed Up by NN, times 16 60
Cloudy Column Speed Up by NN, times 20 88
● As a result of the speed up, GFS with NN radiation calculated with the same
frequency as the rest of the model physics, or 12 times per model hour, takes up as
much time as GFS with RRTMG radiation calculated only once per model hour.
● Neural network emulations are unbiased, and affect model evolution only as much
as round off errors (see next slide).

There is no free lunch
• ML has its domain of application; do not go beyond
• ML, as any statistical modeling, requires data for
training; it is Learning from Data approach
• ML, as any nonlinear statistical modeling, requires
more data, than linear models/regressions
• As any numerical models, ML applications should be
periodically updated; however, ML can be updated on-
line
• Interpretation of ML models, as any nonlinear statistical
models, is not obvious
