High-quality visibility forecasting benefits traffic transportation safety, public services, and tourism. For a more accurate forecast of the visibility in the Guizhou region of China, we constructed several visibility forecasting models via progressive refinements in different compositions of input observational variables and the adoption of the Unet architecture to perform hourly visibility forecasts with lead times ranging from 0 to 72 h over Guizhou, China. Three Unet-based visibility forecasting models were constructed according to different inputs of meteorological variables. The model training via multiple observational variables and visibility forecasts of a high-spatiotemporal-resolution numerical weather prediction model (China Meteorological Administration, Guangdong, CMA-GD) produced a higher threat score (TS), which led to substantial improvements for different thresholds of visibility compared to CMA-GD. However, the Unet-based models had a larger bias score (BS) than the CMA-GD model. By introducing the U2net architecture, there was a further improvement in the TS of the model by approximately a factor of two compared to the Unet model, along with a significant reduction in the BS, which enhanced the stability of the model forecast. In particular, the U2net-based model performed the best in terms of the TS below the visibility threshold of 200 m, with a more than eightfold increase over the CMA-GD model. Furthermore, the U2net-based model had some improvements in the TS, BS, and RMSE (root-mean-square error) compared to the LSTM_Attention model. The spatial distribution of the TS showed that the U2net-based model performed better at the model grid scale of 3 km than at the scale of individual weather stations. In summary, the visibility forecasting model based on the U2net algorithm, multiple observational variables, and visibility data from the CMA-GD model performed the best. The compositions of input observational variables were the key factor in improving the deep learning model’s forecasting capability, and these improvements could improve the value of forecasts and support the socioeconomic needs of sectors reliant on visibility forecasting.

Climate change affects plant growth, food production, ecosystems, sustainable socio-economic development, and human health. The different artificial intelligence models are proposed to simulate climate parameters of Jinan city in China, include artificial neural network (ANN), recurrent NN (RNN), long short-term memory neural network (LSTM), deep convolutional NN (CNN), and CNN-LSTM. These models are used to forecast six climatic factors on a monthly ahead. The climate data for 72 years (1 January 1951–31 December 2022) used in this study include monthly average atmospheric temperature, extreme minimum atmospheric temperature, extreme maximum atmospheric temperature, precipitation, average relative humidity, and sunlight hours. The time series of 12 month delayed data are used as input signals to the models. The efficiency of the proposed models are examined utilizing diverse evaluation criteria namely mean absolute error, root mean square error (RMSE), and correlation coefficient (R). The modeling result inherits that the proposed hybrid CNN-LSTM model achieves a greater accuracy than other compared models. The hybrid CNN-LSTM model significantly reduces the forecasting error compared to the models for the one month time step ahead. For instance, the RMSE values of the ANN, RNN, LSTM, CNN, and CNN-LSTM models for monthly average atmospheric temperature in the forecasting stage are 2.0669, 1.4416, 1.3482, 0.8015 and 0.6292 °C, respectively. The findings of climate simulations shows the potential of CNN-LSTM models to improve climate forecasting. Climate prediction will contribute to meteorological disaster prevention and reduction, as well as flood control and drought resistance.

Air pollution is an issue of great concern globally due to the risks to the health of humanity, animals, and ecosystems. On the one hand, air quality monitoring systems allow for determining the concentration level of air pollutants and health risks through an air quality index (AQI). On the other hand, accurate future predictions of air pollutant concentration levels can provide valuable information for data-driven decision-making to reduce health risks from short- and long-term exposure when indicators exceed permissible limits. In this paper, five deep learning architectures are evaluated to predict the concentration of particulate matter pollutants (in their fractions PM2.5 and PM10) and carbon monoxide (CO) in consecutive hours. The proposed prediction models are based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), vanilla LSTM, Stacked LSTM, Bi-LSTM, and encoder–decoder LSTM networks. Moreover, a methodology is presented to guide the construction of the prediction model, encompassing raw data processing, model design and optimization, and neural network training, testing, and evaluation. The results underscore the precision and reliability of the Stacked LSTM model in predicting the hourly concentration level for PM2.5, with an RMSE of 3.4538 μg/m3. Similarly, the encoder–decoder LSTM model accurately predicts the concentration level for PM10 and CO, with an RMSE of 3.2606 μg/m3 and 2.1510 ppm, respectively. These evaluations, with their minimal differences in error metrics and coefficient of determination, validate the effectiveness and superiority of the deep learning models over other reference models, instilling confidence in their potential.
