Mr Anel Gredic defended his BSc thesis titled “Time series and their application in meteorology” under mentorship of prof. Luka Filipovic. Thesis discusses the significance of time series analysis in meteorology. Time series, which are continuous records of meteorological data like temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed, play a vital role in meteorological science. They are collected by specialized weather stations and satellites and are essential for meteorologists and climate researchers. Time series analysis involves using statistical methods and models to understand the variability of weather conditions over time. It helps identify seasonal patterns, trends, and extreme events, which in turn aids in weather forecasting and climate change monitoring. The application of time series analysis extends beyond meteorology, impacting various aspects of everyday life. This research has profound implications for society and various industries, improving safety, sustainability, and efficiency.
ABSTRACT – Time series are continuous sequences of meteorological data, such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind speed, etc., recorded over time at the same location. These data sets are often collected by specialized weather stations and satellites, and are an invaluable resource for meteorologists and climate researchers. Time series analysis is a fundamental component of meteorological science. Through the use of statistical methods, models and techniques, meteorologists can better understand the variability of weather conditions over time. This analysis enables the identification of seasonal patterns, trends and extreme events. It also helps develop models for weather forecasting and climate change monitoring. The application of time series extends to various aspects of our everyday life. Analysis of time series and their application in meteorology are crucial for understanding and predicting weather phenomena, climate change and protection against extreme weather events. This research has a profound and far-reaching impact on our society and various industries, contributing to the improvement of safety, sustainability and efficiency.
