- Title
Climatic Influences on Markovian Transition Matrices for Vancouver Daily Rainfall Occurrence.
- Authors
Fleming, Sean W.
- Abstract
Two-state, first-order, single-site Markov models for daily precipitation occurrence were developed for each winter rainy season over the historical period of record at five long-term meteorological stations in the lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. Monotonic temporal trends in the independent elements of the transition matrices were then assessed. Although the results remain tentative, there is some evidence for a regionally coherent long-term negative trend in the probability of wet-to-dry state transitions, P10 (or a positive trend in the probability of a wet day being followed by another wet day, P11)...
