A cellular automaton model of tropical oceanic rain clusters with criticality

Abstract. The distributions of the cluster area, A, and total rain rate, R, for tropical oceanic rain clusters from a cellular automaton (CA) are analysed for their scaling exponent ζA, ζR, and β where f(s)~s-ζS; S∈{A,R}; f(s) the probability distribution of S. The CA only includ...
