Fractal Analysis of the Solar Radiation in Mexico City

Article Preview

Abstract:

The behavior of solar radiation fluctuations in Mexico City is analyzed under a fractal framework. We find that solar radiation fluctuations display an antipersistent long horizon behavior. It means that is more probable to observe less solar radiation in the following day, if there is a rising trend in solar radiation intensity, and vice versa.
