Scaling behavior of global mean sea surface temperature anomalies

Scaling behavior of the monthly global mean sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from Kaplan SST V2 data are studied by multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method. A crossover at time scale of 38 months (˜3.2 years) is identified to separate distinct regimes: small-scale and larg...
