In this study, we present a statistical forecasting framework and assess its efficacy using a range of established machine learning algorithms for predicting Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations in the Arctic, specifically in Pallas (FI), Reykjavik (IS), and Tromso (NO). Our framework leverages historical ground measurements and 24 h predictions from nine models by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) to provide PM10 predictions for the following 24 h. Furthermore, we compare the performance of various memory cells based on artificial neural networks (ANN), including recurrent neural networks (RNNs), gated recurrent units (GRUs), long short-term memory networks (LSTMs), echo state networks (ESNs), and windowed multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). Regardless of the type of memory cell chosen, our results consistently show that the proposed framework outperforms the CAMS models in terms of mean squared error (MSE), with average improvements ranging from 25% to 40%. Furthermore, we examine the impact of outliers on the overall performance of the model.
