Daily mean temperature records over China during the past 50 years are studied by means of detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA). Taking Beijing as a center, we calculate the DCCA cross-correlation coefficient σDCCA between the temperatures in Beijing and those in other stations. After a...

Volatility series (defined as the magnitude of the increments between successive elements) of five different meteorological variables over China are analyzed by means of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA for short). Universal scaling behaviors are found in all volatility records, whose scaling...

Long-range correlations of five kinds of daily temperature records (i.e. daily average temperature records, daily maximum temperature records, daily minimum temperature records, diurnal temperature range and the sum of daily maximum and minimum temperature records) from 164 weather stations...
