KNN-WG

KNN-WG is a cool software tool that helps with weather prediction. It uses a smart method called K-nearest neighbors (K-NN). This technique looks at lots of data and finds patterns to guess what the weather will be like in the future. Pretty neat, right?

How Does KNN-WG Work?

So, here’s the deal: predicting the weather isn’t just about looking out the window. It involves crunching numbers and understanding big data sets. KNN-WG makes this easier for researchers by letting them run simulations in a friendly digital space.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface of KNN-WG is simple and easy to navigate. You’ll find a few tabs that help you manage your data while applying the K-NN method. Need to pull information from Excel? No problem! It supports both XLS and XLSX formats, but sadly, that's it for now—no other formats can be used as input.

Weather Variables You Can Use

With KNN-WG, you can work with various weather variables like maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall amounts, humidity levels, solar radiation (Srad), evapotranspiration (ETo), and wind speed. When you upload your data, just remember to select the right column for each variable yourself. It would be even better if you could set up how your spreadsheet looks while importing it!

Running Your Weather Model

Once you have your data ready, you can load it into the K-NN model from another tab. But first things first—you need to set up the time periods you're interested in. This model works on the idea that today’s weather behaves like yesterday's.

Results That Matter

KNN-WG shows you daily predictions for all your chosen variables right in its output section. Plus, it creates graphs to make understanding those predictions easier! And if you’re curious about how accurate your model is, it even calculates efficiency criteria and lets you compare results against other models.
