Machine Learning Techniques Applied to Predict Tropospheric Ozone in a Semi-Arid Climate Region

In the last decade, ground-level ozone exposure has led to a significant increase in environmental and health risks. Thus, it is essential to measure and monitor atmospheric ozone concentration levels. Specifically, recent improvements in machine learning (ML) processes, based on statistical modelin...
