Abstract

Fine particulate matter, especially PM2.5 with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, poses significant health and economic risks. This study focuses on the Seoul region of South Korea, aiming to analyze PM2.5 data and trends from 2017 to 2022 and develop a mid-term prediction model for PM2.5 concentrations. Utilizing collected and produced air quality and weather data, reanalysis data, and numerical model prediction data, this research proposes an ensemble evaluation method capable of adapting to trend changes. The ensemble method proposed in this study demonstrated superior performance in predicting PM2.5 concentrations, outperforming existing models by an average F1 Score of approximately 42.16% in 2019, 58.92% in 2021, and 34.79% in 2022 for future 3 to 6-day predictions. The model maintains performance under changing environmental conditions, offering stable predictions and presenting a mid-term prediction model that extends beyond the capabilities of existing deep learning-based short-term PM2.5 forecasts.

초미세먼지, 특히 지름이 2.5㎛ 이하인 PM2.5는 인체 건강과 경제에 큰 피해를 주는 오염물질이다. 본 연구는 대한민국 서울 지역을 중심으로, 2017년부터 2022년까지 자료를 수집하여 PM2.5 데이터 분석 및 데이터 경향성 변화 추이를 분석하고, PM2.5 중기 예측 모델을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 수집, 생산된 대기질 및 기상 데이터, 재분석 데이터, 수치모델 예측 데이터를 바탕으로, 모델을 학습하고 이를 통합한 경향성 변화에도 대응할 수 있는 앙상블 기법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 앙상블 기법은 PM2.5 농도 예측 성능 면에서 기존 모델 대비 미래 D+3~D+6 예측일 F1 Score 기준 평균 2019년 약 42.16%, 2021년 약 58.92%, 2022년 약 34.79% 높은 성능을 보였다. 제안한 모델은 변화하는 환경 조건에도 성능을 유지함으로써 안정적인 예측을 가능하게 하며, 기존 딥러닝 기반 PM2.5 단기 예측보다 먼 예측을 수행하는 중기 예측 모델을 제시한다.
