Analyzing the Impact of Meteorological Parameters on Rainfall Prediction
Abstract
Rainfall is a climatic factor that affects many human activities like agriculture, construction, and forestry. Rainfall is dependent on various meteorological features and its prediction is a very complex task due to the dynamic climatic nature. A detailed study of different climatic features associated with the occurrence of rainfall should be made in order to understand the influence of each parameter in the context of rainfall. In this paper, we propose a methodical approach to analyze the affect of various parameters on rainfall. Our study uses years of meteorological data from a weather station located in the United States. The correlation and interdependence among the collected meteorological features were obtained. Additionally, we identified the most important meteorological features for rainfall prediction using a machine learning-based feature selection technique.
