  • Patent number: 10444211
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method where an air quality forecast having an air quality turning point is received. A processor identifies an updated air quality turning point based on weather observation information. An air quality forecast at the updated air quality turning point is generated with the weather observation information and human input, which can include human knowledge from a weather expert or an air quality expert. An air quality forecast for a first time period directly prior to the updated air quality turning point is generated with the air quality forecast at the updated air quality turning point and the human input. An air quality forecast for a second time period directly after the updated air quality turning point is generated with the air quality forecast for the first time period, the air quality forecast at the updated air quality turning point, and the human input.

  • Publication number: 20180239057
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes comparing, by a computer processor, meteorological conditions of a first duration of time to meteorological conditions of at least one second duration of time. The beginning of the second duration of time is determined based at least in part on a first event relating to air quality conditions. The end of the second duration of time is determined based at least in part on a second event relating to air quality conditions. The method also includes outputting a forecast of air quality conditions for the first duration of time based at least in part on the comparing.
