Data Mining Approches to Complex Environmental Problems
Anomaly detection is the task of identifying data that deviate from historical patterns. It has many practical applications, such as data quality assurance and control (QA/QC), focused data collection, and event detection. The second portion of this dissertation develops a suite of data-driven …

I dati metereologici per applicazioni energetiche e ambientali
… and environmental evaluations need appropriate meteorological data, as input to analysis and prevision softwares. In Italy there aren't adeguate meteorological data because, in many cases, they are incomplete, incorrect and also very expensive for a long-term analysis (that needs multi-year data …

Spring Hollow Reservoir: Application of a two-dimensional water quality model
… indicated that the model was very sensitivity to meteorological data, especially in determining temperature. Thus, a weather station located at the reservoir would permit collection of more accurate meteorological data, leading to greater confidence in the interpretation of the model predictions.

Atmospheric dispersion modelling of particulate and gaseous pollutants affecting the trans-Manche region
… tracking and inverse (or receptor-based) modes. Meteorological data output from the PSU/NCAR Mesoscale model (known as MM5), or datasets from the European Centre of Medium-range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) are used to drive the dispersion models. Linkage routines were developed to interpret the LPD …

Abnormal Pattern Recognition in Spatial Data
… academia, and has become an important branch of data mining. Abnormal spatial patterns, or spatial outliers, are those observations whose characteristics are markedly different from their spatial neighbors. The identification of spatial outliers can be used to reveal hidden but valuable knowledge …
