Fractal Dimension Analysis of Northeast Monsoon of Tamil Nadu

Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Analysis of the general rainfall trend is vital for the purpose of forecasting and in identifying the changes and impacts that are very crucial for an agro-based economy like the one of Tamil Nadu. Northeast monsoon data of Tamil Nadu is used for fractal dimension analysis using Hurst exponent method. The Hurst exponent (H) is a statistical measure used to classify time series. It is found that the behavior of Northeast monsoon rainfall in Tamil Nadu is anti-persistent, since the value of fractal dimension (D) is 1.7895.
