Abstract :
By analyzing NO concentrations in the atmosphere recorded hourly for six months at a point close to an avenue with heavy traffic in the city of Santiago, we show that the combination of prevalent information of this pollutant and meteorological variables may be used as input for a perceptron in order to predict NO concentrations several hours in advance
