Comment On "Scaling Of Atmosphere And Ocean Temperature Correlations In Observations And Climate Models"
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2004)
摘要
In a recent letter [K. Fraedrich and R. Blender, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 108501
(2003)], Fraedrich and Blender studied the scaling of atmosphere and ocean
temperature. They analyzed the fluctuation functions F(s) ~ s^alpha of monthly
temperature records (mostly from grid data) by using the detrended fluctuation
analysis (DFA2) and claim that the scaling exponent alpha over the inner
continents is equal to 0.5, being characteristic of uncorrelated random
sequences. Here we show that this statement is (i) not supported by their own
analysis and (ii) disagrees with the analysis of the daily observational data
from which the grid monthly data have been derived. We conclude that also for
the inner continents, the exponent is between 0.6 and 0.7, similar as for the
coastline-stations.
