AUTHOR=Hayata Kazuya TITLE=An Attempt to Appreciate Climate Change Impacts From a Rank-Size Rule Perspective JOURNAL=Frontiers in Physics VOLUME=Volume 9 - 2021 YEAR=2022 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physics/articles/10.3389/fphy.2021.687900 DOI=10.3389/fphy.2021.687900 ISSN=2296-424X ABSTRACT=For 116 observational stations on the globe, rank-size analyses are made for vectors arising from sequential variations of the monthly distributions of meteorological data. The ranking method has been shown to be useful for revealing a statistical rule inherent in complex systems such as texts of natural languages.
