Higher agreement is seen for stations in the dry zone of Sri Lanka when compared with those in the wet zone. No significant difference was observed between the results obtained using the 1 st order Markov process and the 2 nd order Markov process. The models were not sensitive to the range of data used or the short-term fluctuations. doi:10.4038/sljp.v3i0.184 Sri Lankan Journal of Physics, Vol.3 (2002) 39-52","PeriodicalId":21880,"journal":{"name":"Sri Lankan Journal of Physics","volume":"12 1","pages":"39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81967384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
