Abstract

The Detrended Fluctuation Analysis statistical method is applied tomicrowave radiometer and infrared thermometer radiance data in order to examinestratus cloud dynamics. The existence of long-range power law correlations instratus cloud liquid water path and radiance (brightness temperature)fluctuations is demonstrated to occur over about a two-hour period. Moreover,using a finite-size (time) interval window, a change from non-Brownian toBrownian fluctuation regimes is clearly shown to define the cloud structurechanges.
