A multipleregression approach has been applied using wind data: wind direction (degrees) and windspeed (km/h) recorded in two weather stations, together with the volume of the grosstonnage per hour (GT/h) of vessels in the Bay of Algeciras to estimate SO2concentration values in the two stations Algeciras and Alcornocales. The databasecontains records of hourly samples of these variables during the year 2019. Differentartificial neural networks (ANNs) models were compared and the results showed thatSO2 in Algeciras station could be better explained than the same pollutant inAlcornocales station. On the other hand, ANNs produced better results than linearmodels which means that nonlinear models fit best the data. A cross- validationprocedure has been applied in order to assure the generalization capabilities of thetested models. The results showed that in Algeciras a more reliable estimation couldbe done reaching a correlation estimation between the model and the target (real) values ofSO2. This fact highlights the major influence of maritime transport in the Bay ofAlgeciras PB Universidad de Burgos.
