Fractal Structure and Exponential Decorrelation in Rain
Université du Québec à Montréal, Quebec, Canada
Statistics of rain rate increments are obtained from a 10-year record of a tipping-bucket rain gage. These statistics are analyzed for various effects: smoothing of data, sampling of data, noise in the data, and their consequences on the evidence for the fractal structure of rain. Furthermore, it is shown that rain becomes effectively decorrelated after ∼ 20 min. No evidence for scaling of rain rate increments in time is apparent from this analysis.
