A dynamical–system description of precipitation over the tropics and the midlatitudes

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2020
A dynamical–system approach is proposed to describe the relationship between precipitation and a chosen predictor. This is done by constructing a two dimensional phase space spanned by predictor and predictant. This study uses two sounding data sets from
