Abstract

Solar activity and Cosmic Ray particles are known to have an effect on the formation of structural clouds through changes in temperature. With an increase in solar activity, coronal mass ejection increases, leading to an increase in temperature in the Earth’s atmosphere. The change in temperature is related to the change in cloud formation and rainfall distribution, and hence the change in climate pattern. This prompts us to analyse terrestrial cloud images for robust processing of underlying information or patterns. Geometrical exploration of cloud properties using Multi-Fractal Analysis (MFA) is given preference over standard statistical tools for devising an improved weather prediction platform in the future. For the first time, MFA is reported to be used successfully to analyse cloud properties using images obtained from satellites to predict geomagnetic storms.
