    Forecasting Air Quality in Tripoli: an Evaluation of Deep Learning Models for Hourly Pm2.5 Surface Mass Concentrations
    (Mdpi, 2023) Esager, Marwa Winis Misbah; Unlu, Kamil Demirberk
    In this article, we aimed to study the forecasting of hourly PM2.5 surface mass concentrations in the city of Tripoli, Libya. We employed three state-of-the-art deep learning models, namely long short-term memory, gated recurrent unit, and convolutional neural networks, to forecast PM2.5 levels using univariate time series methodology. Our results revealed that the convolutional neural networks model performed the best, with a coefficient of variation of 99% and a mean absolute percentage error of 0.04. These findings provide valuable insights into the use of deep learning models for forecasting PM2.5 and can inform decision-making regarding air quality management in the city of Tripoli.
