Workshop on weather

Forecaster Tool in Matlab

Weather forecasting
The science of predicting the climatal changes is now a
very fast progressing area in which data scientists as well
as engineers are working hard to surpass the hurdle of not
predicting the weather or climatic changes effectively and
precisely. there are following techniques uptill now which
are in the race right now but they are well behind predicting
the climatal changes precisely.
● Regression
Data Retrieving:
• We have our own data recource at DHA
SUFFA UNIVERSITY, which provides us the
data on various climatal paramaters like
temp., dewpoint, humidity… with a 10min
interval in each new reading.
• We are also working in gathering data from
other weather sources , which includes a 20
years data on Karachi weather
Extraction of Data:
We have these data files with comma delimited
or with other delimitations.
We have worked upon this data and developed
aMATLAB script that can read the data from
these files and convert this data into individual
data vectors of temperature, humidity, dew
point etc., as per requirement.
.m Files, data Files:
Our Approach:
We have worked in different ways in extracting
the data from, and use of different data input
techniques in matlab like scanf, textscan,
readtable etc.
Then we have reached to an optimum
technique for taking the data out from any of
the different data files that we get from different
resources.
Matlab Tool:
We have now worked out to develop a tool that
can handle that tedious task of reading a text
file by different functions and .m script files
every time.
The tool is designed to handle the tasks of
reading those data files, and plotting different
parameters data in them as prescribed by the
user.
The Gui of Our tool:
This is the GUI of the tool , it can browse through data files and simultaneously
can perform different data extraction and graphing works.
Heading towards NEURAL NETWORKING:
• Now as we have the data we will come to the actual gist of our work , that
is the climatal prediction model using Neural Network tool in matlab.
• This task is our study domain also because we will have to study NN more
thoroughly and compare its results with other resources and techniques
available.
• We are reviewing different articles, research papers and books regarding
the study of Neural networks in this domain by others…
NEURAL NETWORK TOOL:
This is a matlab based tool, it provides a graphical interface to the very crucial work of a
neural network , that is training of data.
Neural networking is basically the machine learning process, which leads to a function
that can then predict targeted results with a given set of information.
