abstract = {Tropospheric ozone is a secondary air pollutant that is
harmful to living beings and crops. Predicting ozone
concentrations at specific locations is thus important to
initiate protection measures, i.e. emission reductions or
warnings to the population. Ozone levels at specific
locations result from emission and sink processes, mixing
and chemical transformation along an air parcel's
trajectory. Current ozone forecasting systems generally rely
on computationally expensive chemistry transport models
(CTMs). However, recently several studies have demonstrated
the potential of deep learning for this task. While a few of
these studies were trained on gridded model data, most
efforts focus on forecasting time series from individual
measurement locations. In this study, we present a hybrid
approach which is based on time-series forecasting (up to
4 d) but uses spatially aggregated meteorological and
chemical data from upstream wind sectors to represent some
aspects of the chemical history of air parcels arriving at
the measurement location. To demonstrate the value of this
additional information, we extracted pseudo-observation data
for Germany from a CTM to avoid extra complications with
irregularly spaced and missing data. However, our method can
be extended so that it can be applied to observational time
series. Using one upstream sector alone improves the
forecasts by $10 \%$ during all 4 d, while the use of
three sectors improves the mean squared error (MSE) skill
score by $14 \%$ during the first 2 d of the prediction
but depends on the upstream wind direction. Our method shows
its best performance in the northern half of Germany for the
first 2 prediction days. Based on the data's seasonality and
simulation period, we shed some light on our models' open
challenges with (i) spatial structures in terms of
decreasing skill scores from the northern German plain to
the mountainous south and (ii) concept drifts related to an
unusually cold winter season. Here we expect that the
inclusion of explainable artificial intelligence methods
could reveal additional insights in future versions of our
model.},
