A Web-Based Decision Support Tool for Local Precipitation Trends in Mexico Using Data Science and Spatial Analysis
摘要
Precipitation and drought patterns have become increasingly irregular due to climate change, posing challenges for local decision-making and water management. This paper presents PATPSL (Platform for the Analysis of Precipitation and Local Drought Trends), a web-based platform that automates the analysis of precipitation and drought trends in specific geographic coordinates in Mexico. PATPSL integrates data mining, geographic interpolation (IDW), drought indices (SPI, Palmer, CFE, Foley), and machine learning models (SARIMA, kNN, regression trees), alongside an algorithm (AEPCM) for monthly precipitation trend estimation. The platform offers a user-friendly interface, downloadable reports, and an interactive dashboard powered by Power BI. This paper details the system architecture, preprocessing pipeline, model evaluation, and platform deployment.
