HOTSPOT ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON BETWEEN SATELLITE-DERIVED AEROSOL OPTICAL DEPTH AND GROUND-BASED PARTICULATE MATTER MEASUREMENTS IN METRO MANILA [PDF]
Highly urbanized regions such as the Metro Manila area in the Philippines contribute to the deterioration of air quality through overpopulation, excessive vehicle emissions, and industrialization. However, the limited number of ground monitoring stations

Why the Increasing Trend of Summer Rainfall over North China Has Halted since the Mid-1990s
Previous studies indicate that the summer (July-August) rainfall over North China has decreased since the mid-1970s due to the weakening of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). However, this study firstly discovers the new evidences that the summer rainfall

Exploiting Domain Knowledge to Address Class Imbalance in Meteorological Data Mining
We deal with the problem of class imbalance in data mining and machine learning classification algorithms. This is the case where some of the class labels are represented by a small number of examples in the training dataset compared to the rest of the ...

Effects of random forest modeling decisions on biogeochemical time series predictions
Random forests (RF) are an increasingly popular machine learning approach used to model biogeochemical processes in the Earth system. While RF models are robust to many assumptions that complicate deterministic models, there are several important ...

Applying self-supervised learning for semantic cloud segmentation of all-sky images
. Semantic segmentation of ground-based all-sky images (ASIs) can provide high-resolution cloud coverage information of distinct cloud types, applicable for meteorology, climatology and solar energy-related applications. Since the shape and appearance of

Impacts of Different Onset Time El Niño Events on Winter Precipitation over South China
Winter precipitation over South China tended to be much higher than normal for the spring El Niño events during 1979–2016. For the spring El Niño events, the meridional and zonal circulations served as a bridge, linking the warmer sea
