Project: Investigating Weather Forecasting using a Neural Network

Description:

A neural network is to be developed to predict the next day's weather,
from today’s weather measurements. The network would also be used in
experimenting with a 5-day forecast or longer.  The weather
measurements to be used, minimum & maximum temperatures(OC),
pressure(mb), amount of rain\snow (mm) & sunshine (hrs) for a
particular day.

The neural network architecture that will be applied will be a Simple
Recurrent Network/Elman network, with the weather measurements above
used as input and the output from the network will be the same as the
input.

I would like to hear from anyone who is conducting similar research,
into using neural networks for weather forecasting.
