Utilising key climate element variability for the prediction of future climate change using a support vector machine model

This paper proposes a support vector machine (SVM) model to advance the prediction accuracy of global land-ocean temperature (GLOT), which is globally significant for understanding the future pattern of climate change. The GLOT dataset was collected from NASA’s GLOT index (C) (anomaly with base:...

Utilising key climate element variability for the prediction of future climate change using a support vector machine model
description This paper proposes a support vector machine (SVM) model to advance the prediction accuracy of global land-ocean temperature (GLOT), which is globally significant for understanding the future pattern of climate change. The GLOT dataset was collected from NASA’s GLOT index (C) (anomaly with base: 1951–1980) for the period 1880 to 2013. We categorise the dataset by decades to describe the behaviour of the GLOT within those decades. The dataset was used to build an SVM Model to predict future values of the GLOT.
