Dynamical Characteristics in Time Series Between PM10 and Wind Speed

Abstract

We study the temporal variation characteristics of PM10 and wind velocity in eight South Korean cities. We employ the detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA) method to extract the overall tendency of the hourly variation. We ascertain from three-daily and one-weekly intervals that Busan has the negative largest, while Donghae has the positive largest in the DCCA cross-correlation coefficient between PM10 and wind velocity. As a result of Asian dust events, the cross-correlation is statistically significant for the hourly time series data less than two days. Particularly, we discuss whether a cross-correlation is statistically significant or not from random number surrogation and shuffled time series surrogation
