[0002] Ozone, as a typical secondary pollutant, is influenced by both meteorological conditions and the concentration of precursor substances, exhibiting significant spatiotemporal nonuniformity and complex dynamic variations. Traditional ozone early warning systems mostly rely on single-mode prediction models, which suffer from delayed warning information due to the lack of multimodal spatiotemporal dependency capture. Therefore, there is an urgent need to establish an intelligent early warning model that can effectively integrate meteorological and pollutant information and capture the spatiotemporal variation patterns of ozone pollution under complex extreme weather conditions, providing scientific and timely decision support for regional air quality management. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above shortcomings, this invention provides a method for constructing an ozone pollution early warning model for complex extreme weather in the Yangtze River Delta region. This method aims to improve upon the problem that traditional ozone early warning systems mostly rely on single-mode prediction models, which suffer from delayed early warning information due to the lack of multi-mode spatiotemporal dependency capture.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for constructing an ozone pollution early warning model for complex extreme weather in the Yangtze River Delta, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S7. Using the trained model, predict the ozone concentration of each spatial grid within the future time window, and generate regional ozone pollution early warning information based on the predicted values, including the time window, spatial grid, and contributions of the main driving meteorological factors.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, high-resolution meteorological and pollutant data in the Yangtze River Delta region are collected, and data cleaning, bimodal feature encoding and joint representation modeling are performed. Ozone concentration is predicted and regional early warning is generated through multi-layer Transformer adaptive attention. This improves the problem that traditional ozone early warning mostly relies on single-modal prediction models and lacks multimodal spatiotemporal dependency capture, resulting in delayed early warning information.

[0034] During model training, gradient descent is used to optimize the parameters of the weather encoder, pollution encoder, and Transformer model.
[0035] By introducing information bottleneck constraints, feature compression and key feature enhancement are achieved by maximizing the information correlation between the joint representation and the prediction results and minimizing redundant modal information.
[0036] A stable, compressed joint representation is generated, providing high-quality input for future ozone concentration prediction.

[0048] 2. In this invention, a joint representation is generated by introducing a mutual information dynamic weighting mechanism, thereby effectively integrating meteorological and pollution modal features. This improves the problem that traditional ozone prediction methods, which mostly rely on empirical fusion methods, cannot distinguish between key information and redundant features, resulting in insufficient prediction accuracy.
[0049] 3. In this invention, by inputting the joint representation into a multi-layer Transformer model and employing an adaptive attention mechanism, the spatiotemporal dependency between meteorology and pollution is captured, thereby improving the problem that traditional ozone prediction mostly uses fixed spatiotemporal weight models, which cannot adaptively focus on key features, resulting in a lag in the response to pollution diffusion time series.
[0050] 4. In this invention, by introducing information bottleneck constraints to optimize encoder and Transformer parameters during model training, redundant features are compressed and key features are strengthened. This improves the problem that traditional multimodal predictions mostly do not perform feature compression processing, resulting in insufficient model stability and prediction reliability due to redundant information.

[0180] Example 2:
[0181] In the Yangtze River Delta region, dense urban areas, concentrated industrial emissions, and active vehicle exhaust emissions, coupled with the influence of the land-sea confluence climate, lead to frequent extreme weather events such as high temperatures, strong sunlight, and stagnant atmospheres. This causes ozone pollution to accumulate rapidly in urban and suburban areas, forming high-concentration pollution zones. Environmental management departments need to predict ozone concentrations in real time and issue early warnings to guide traffic control and industrial emission restrictions. However, existing methods face several technical challenges: First, meteorological and pollutant data come from diverse sources with inconsistent time steps and spatial resolutions, leading to information redundancy and difficulty in reflecting the driving role of meteorology in ozone formation. Second, ozone concentrations change rapidly under extreme weather conditions, making it difficult for traditional models to capture time delay effects and local spatial diffusion characteristics. Furthermore, with the upgrading of observation indicators and monitoring technologies, newly added meteorological factors or pollutant characteristics cannot be directly applied to existing models. Simultaneously, high-dimensional spatiotemporal data contain a large amount of redundant information, lacking effective methods to identify key driving factors, thus limiting prediction accuracy and early warning interpretability. Finally, existing methods mostly use regional average predictions, failing to generate fine-grained grid-level early warning information and unable to clearly identify the contribution of major driving meteorological factors to pollution. To solve the above problems, this invention provides an image recognition system, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown. The specific implementation process of this system is as follows:
[0182] Specifically, high-resolution meteorological data and pollutant concentration data from the Yangtze River Delta region were collected to form the raw dataset. Meteorological data included temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, shortwave and longwave radiation intensity, and boundary layer height, spatially interpolated using observation station grids and satellite remote sensing data. Pollutant data included ozone, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compound concentrations, supplemented by mobile monitoring equipment and historical databases. The raw dataset, with standardized timestamps and spatial grid mapping, was output to provide a foundation for subsequent feature matrix construction.
[0183] Missing values were imputed and outliers were removed from meteorological and pollutant data to generate a unified spatiotemporal feature matrix. Missing values were processed using linear and Lagrange interpolation, while outliers were identified through distributional statistical analysis and replaced with the nearest neighbor mean. The processed data were aligned according to timestamps and spatial grids, unifying data from different sources into a standardized feature matrix, providing reliable input for the encoder to extract latent representations.
[0184] A unified spatiotemporal feature matrix is input into the meteorological encoder and the pollution encoder, respectively, to extract meteorological and pollution latent representations. The encoder consists of multiple convolutional layers and feedforward fully connected layers for extracting spatiotemporal features. The two latent representations are mapped to a shared latent space to form a high-dimensional feature vector that can be directly fused across modalities, providing a foundation for joint representation generation.
[0185] The mutual information between the meteorological and pollution latent representations is calculated, and the fusion weights are dynamically adjusted based on the mutual information results to generate a joint representation. Through weighted concatenation and gating mechanisms, key information is preserved and redundant features are suppressed, providing optimized input for the Transformer model.
[0186] The joint representation is input into a multi-layer Transformer encoder-decoder structure to capture the spatiotemporal dependency between meteorological conditions and pollutants, generating a predicted sequence output. Within each self-attention layer, attention weights are dynamically adjusted through mutual information feedback, enabling the model to adaptively focus on key features at different time steps and spatial grids. Contextual information is passed between the encoder and decoder to capture the time-delay effect of meteorological conditions on pollutant dispersion.
[0187] During training, gradient descent is used to optimize the parameters of the weather encoder, pollution encoder, and Transformer model. Information bottleneck constraints are introduced to compress redundant features and enhance key features. This generates a stable, compressed joint representation, providing high-quality input for future ozone concentration prediction.
[0188] The trained model is used to predict ozone concentrations in each spatial grid within a future time window, and regional ozone pollution early warning information is generated based on the predictions, including the time window, spatial grid, and contributions of major driving meteorological factors. Attention weight mapping is used to label the major driving factors, providing refined early warning information for management departments.
