Abstract

Four different models for the prediction of frost events caused by air cooling due to thermal radiation are presented in this paper. Three of them are based on polynomial functions that simulate different types of temperature variations in comparison with an exponential one. The fourth, a post-processing method based on Kalman filters, is proposed for those cases where a systematic type of bias has emerged.
