Abstract

The study of hydro-meteorological series is important for planning agricultural activities, managing water resources, and taking measures to prevent the effects of natural hazards. Therefore, here we analyze the fractal characteristics of the temperature series recorded at Constanta, Romania. The studied series are the annual mean maximum annual and minimum annual temperatures recorded during 1961-2018.
