Abstract EN
Rainfall is a complexity dynamics process.
In this paper, our objective is to find the evidence of self-organized criticality (SOC) for rain datasets in China by employing the theory and method of SOC.
For this reason, we analyzed the long-term rain records of five meteorological stations in Henan, a central province of China.
Three concepts, that is, rain duration, drought duration, accumulated rain amount, are proposed to characterize these rain events processes.
We investigate their dynamics property by using scale invariant and found that the long-term rain processes in central China indeed exhibit the feature of self-organized criticality.
The proposed theory and method may be suitable to analyze other datasets from different climate zones in China.
