Deterministic chaos, fractals, and quantumlike mechanics in atmospheric flows
Deterministic chaos, fractals, and quantumlike mechanics in atmospheric flows
The complex spaciotemporal patterns of atmospheric flows that result from the cooperative existence of fluctuations ranging in size from millimetres to thousands of kilometres are found to exhibit long-range spacial and temporal correlations. These correlations are manifested as the self-similar fractal geometry of the global cloud cover pattern and the …
