Abstract
Atmospheric flows exhibit long-range spatiotemporal correlations manifested as self-similar fractal geometry to the global cloud cover pattern concomitant with inverse power law form fB. Such non-local connections are ubiquitous to dynamical systems in nature and are identified as signatures of self-organized criticality. Standard models in meteorological theory cannot explain satisfactorily the observed self-organized criticality in atmospheric flows. A recently developed cell dynamical model for atmospheric flows predicts the observed self-organized criticality as a direct consequence of quantumlike mechanics governing flow dynamics. The model predictions are in agreement with continuous periodogram power spectral analyses of two-day mean TOGA temperature time-series. The application of model concepts for prediction of atmospheric low frequency variability is discussed.
