Estimating dimensions of attractors are the most basic tools to analyze properties of chaotical dynamic systems. In this paper, we estimate correlation dimensions of meteorological variables, such as wind speed (v) and temperature (T) observed in Kimhae International Airport when the land-sea breeze circulation is appeared and find low non-integer values that reflect the deterministic chaos characterizing the dynamics. We compare the results with the correlation dimensions of 2-dimensional model that is calculated by finite element method.
Though the correlation dimensions of the calculated wind speed (v) are less than those of the observed wind speed (v), we can suggest that the land-sea breeze circulation has not a unique mechanism. The land-sea breeze phenomenon is a complicated dynamics, which is constructed with various scale motions of atmosphere. In further research, we hope to find more accurate dynamics of land-sea breeze through wide observations and using of more sophisticated prediction models.
