Abstract
This study reports univariate modelling methodologies applied to the monthly total ozone concentration (TOC) over Kolkata (22°32′, 88°20′), India, derived from the measurements made by the Earth Probe Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (EP/TOMS). The univariate models have been generated in two forms, namely autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and autoregressive neural network (AR-NN). Three ARIMA models in the forms of ARIMA(1,1,1), ARIMA(0,1,1) and ARIMA(0,2,2) and 11 autoregressive neural network models, AR-NN(n), have been generated for a time series. Goodness of fit of the models to the time series of monthly TOC has been assessed using prediction error, Pearson correlation coefficient and Willmott's indices. After rigorous skill assessment, the ARIMA (0,2,2) has been identified as the best predictive model for the time series under study.
