Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Reasonable decision-making plays a key role in aiding air quality improvement. This depends on reliable environmental data and model analysis. Atmospheric environmental data are growing in complexity, resolution and amount rapidly. The availability and accessibility of environmental datasets are promoting the growing interest in the field of modeling and quantitative assessment of atmospheric environmental problems.  Addressing the types of complex air pollution problems faced by today’s atmospheric environmental scientists requires the ability to synthesize and analyze heterogeneous data from multiple sources successfully. In the process of supporting holistic analyses and extraction of new knowledge, traditional analysis methods face limitations or challenges. Advanced data analysis methods have become indispensable tools to reveal hidden patterns in air pollution evolution.

The open-access journal Atmosphere is hosting a Special Issue to showcase the most recent findings related to data analysis and methods in atmospheric photochemistry, air quality evolution, meteorological change, greenhouse gases reduction, air quality management and air pollution health effect.

This Special Issue is an appropriate venue for papers that deal with complex atmospheric environment data analysis and methods. Any novel experimental and modeling studies that advance understanding of the complex atmospheric environmental problems are all welcome contributions. So the Special Issue aims to build a bridge among the atmospheric pollution emissions, atmospheric photochemistry, meteorological science, atmospheric models, quantitative assessment methods, environmental management and sustainable policy.

This paper investigates the effect of the architectural design of deep learning models in combination with a feature engineering approach considering the temporal variation in the features in the case of tropospheric ozone forecasting. Although deep neural network models have shown successful results by extracting features automatically from raw data, their performance in the domain of air quality forecasting is influenced by different feature analysis approaches and model architectures. This paper proposes a simple but effective analysis of tropospheric ozone time series data that can reveal temporal phases of the ozone evolution process and assist neural network models to reflect these temporal variations. We demonstrate that addressing the ozone evolution phases when developing the model architecture improves the performance of deep neural network models. As a result, we evaluated our approach on the CNN model and showed that not only does it improve the performance of the CNN model, but also that the CNN model in combination with our approach boosts the performance of the other deep neural network models such as LSTM. The development of the CNN, LSTM-CNN, and CNN-LSTM models using the proposed approach improved the prediction performance of the models by 3.58%, 1.68%, and 3.37%, respectively. Full article
