The Comparative Analysis of Chaotic Features of Meteorological Parameters During Total Solar Eclipse of 29th March, 2006

ABSTRACT

The Comparative Analysis of Chaotic Features of Meteorological Parameters during Total Solar Eclipse of 29^th March 2006 has been carried out using the Nonlinear Dynamical Analytical Methods which include Lyapunov Exponent (LE), Recurrence plot (RP) and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA). The underlying dynamics and hidden structures in data recorded for meteorological parameters such as atmospheric Pressure, wind speed, Radiative fluxes, and Soil temperature and Air temperature during the total solar eclipse of 29^th March 2006 were visualized and quantified. It was observed that the instability and unpredictability of meteorological parameters during the solar eclipse event were characterized by nonlinearity, nonstationarity and chaotic features. The low values of recurrence quantifiers (DET, ENT, L_MAX, RR) and positive value of largest Lyapunov exponents for all the parameters confirmed that the meteorological parameters exhibit chaotic features during the event of solar eclipse and these chaotic features are more pronounced in some parameters such as atmospheric pressure, temperature at lower level than others such global radiation, solar heat flux, wind speed and temperature at greater level. The values of these three quantifiers (L_max, DET, ENT) are the lowest values for atmospheric pressure which are 2.0000, 0.0001, 0.2069, respectively and highest values for soil temperature depending on the depth of soil measured are 19.4167, 1.3498, 1.0000 respectively. The Soil temperature during the solar eclipse was measured and recorded at different depth of soil 5 cm, 10 cm and 30 cm and the nature of the soil, type of vegetations on the soil, bare soil were also considered during the measurement. The largest Lyapunov exponents were carried out for each of this depth. At the depth of 5 cm, λ = 0.0239 on a day before the eclipse and λ = 0.0314 on both the eclipse day and post-eclipse days, that indicates the sensitive dependence on initial conditions of Soil temperature at 5 cm depth.
