A Revised Method Based on Wavelet-Time Series and the Application in Prediction of Ozone Concentration
摘要
Ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are two pollutants which have the greatest impact on the urban atmospheric environment. In recent years, O₃ outranked PM2.5 as the most important air pollutant in some cities, bringing major hidden dangers to human health. Prediction of air pollution becomes a hot topic of all fields. In this paper, a variable Wavelet-ARIMA (VWA) forecasting model is proposed. The O₃ dataset in 2020 is classified into three groups by numerical characteristics, which directly derive the different parameters of wavelet functions. Then, Autoregressive Integral Moving Average (ARIMA) model is applied on wavelet reconstructed sequences to produce three parts of predictions. By mingling these parts, we get the total ozone concentrations for the next 5 days, 7 days and 10 days. Finally, the superiority on new model is illustrated over the traditional ones. The revised model is superior to the traditional one, and provides a new idea for pollutant prediction.
