Application of artificial neural networks to frost detection in central Chile using the next day minimum air temperature forecast

ABSTRACT Predicting future climatic events is one of the key issues in many fields, whether in scientific or industrial areas. An artificial neural network (ANN) model, based on a backpropagation type, was developed in this study to predict the minimum air temperature of the following day from meteo...
