Using the IDW algorithm to predict the spatial distribution pattern of ozone O3 in the central region of the Holy City of Mecca

Abstract

The research aims to determine the distribution pattern of ozone gas and the changes that occurred to it in different seasons of the year for the period between 2013-2015 in the central region of the city of Makkah using the inverse distance weight (IDW) algorithm. And spatially, where the highest average ozone appeared in the winter in the residential neighborhoods south of the Grand Mosque, and decreased in the neighborhoods located east of the Grand Mosque, and in the spring the average ozone remained high in the southern neighborhoods of the Grand Mosque, and decreased in the neighborhoods adjacent to the Grand Mosque from various sides, and in the summer It is noted that the highest averages of ozone gas appeared to the east and southeast of the Grand Mosque, and the lowest averages emerged in the vicinity and west of the Grand Mosque.
