Determination of the dynamical behavior of rainfalls by using a multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis

We study the dynamical behavior of rainfalls in the complicated area of the Korean peninsula. Data for stations having no automatic weather system are simulated from those of ten stations with automatic weather stations via the ordinary kriging interpolation method. Using a multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, we analyze all the stations from time series data for rainfalls. We are able to find forty high-ranked stations having no automatic weather system from the multifractal strength. In particular, our result may be useful and effective in determining the locations of new automatic weather stations and establishing the meteorological apparatus.
