Abstract

Sets of weather variables for estimation of LWD were evaluated using CART(Classification And Regression Tree) models. Input variables were sets of hourly observations of air temperature at 0.3-m and 1.5-m height, relative humidity(RH), and wind speed that were obtained from May to September in 1997, 1998, and 1999 at 15 weather stations in iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, USA. A model that included air temperature at 0.3-m height, RH, and wind speed showed the lowest misidentification rate for wetness. The model estimated presence or absence of wetness more accurately (85.5%) than the CART/SLD model (84.7%) proposed by Gleason et al. (1994). This slight improvement, however, was insufficient to justify the use of our model, which requires additional measurements, in preference to the CART/SLD model. This study demonstrated that the use of measurements of temperature, humidity, and wind from automated stations was sufficient to make LWD estimations of reasonable accuracy when the CART/SLD model was used. Therefore, implementation of crop disease-warning systems may be facilitated by application of the CART/SLD model that inputs readily obtainable weather observations.

CART(Classification and Regression Tree) 모형을 이용해서 결로시간 예측에 필요한 기상변수들을 평가하였다. 입력 기상 변수들은 0.3m와 1.5m에서 측정된 기온, 상대습도, 풍속의 시간별 측정값으로서 이 관측 값들은 1997년부터 1999년 5월에서 9월 사이에 미국의 Iowa, Illinois 및 Nebraska주에 위치한 15개 자동 기상 관측소에서 관측된 것이다. 0.3 m에서 측정된 기온, 상대습도, 그리고 풍속을 이용해서 얻어진 모형이 가장 높은 결로시간의 예측 적중율(85.5%)을 보였으며, 이 모형은 Gleason 등(1994)의 CART/SLD 모형의 적중률(84.7%) 보다 다소 높았다. 그러나 새로운 변수를 추가한 경우에 정확도의 향상이 다소 있었으나 CART/SLD 모형을 대체할 정도는 아니었다. 따라서, 기온, 상대습도, 풍속들의 종관 기상관측값들을 입력변수로 사용하는 CART/SLD 모형이 종관 기상관측 자료 이외의 추가적인 자료를 필요로 하는 모형으로 결로시간을 예측하는 것보다 합리적일 것으로 보인다.
