  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Modelling (Mathematics)
DEF

... the correlation (usually linear-squared correlation) between members of a time series of observations, and the same values at a fixed time interval later.

CONT

In the semi-arid climate, autocorrelation is lower than in the temperate climate due to the short-duration rainfall events. Nevertheless, an increase of correlation for shorter time lags was, in principle, reproduced by the model.
