Design of an expert distance metric for climate clustering: The case of rainfall in the Lesser Antilles
E Biabiany, DC Bernard, V Page… - Computers & …, 2020 - Elsevier
To expand our knowledge of the climate in the Lesser Antilles, we attempted to identify the
spatio-temporal configurations of daily weather. We noticed certain pitfalls that can lead to
poor results when using clustering algorithms and have proposed some steps towards the
solution. These advancements might prove interesting for climate informatics, as well as for
many applications that cluster physical fields. We illustrated the pitfalls with a dataset of
cumulative rainfall from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission for the period 2000 to …
