Fractal properties of climatic records. (English) Zbl 0900.00029

Summary: Analysis of climatic records strongly suggests that, except for some fairly obvious and easily removable deterministic component, the actual behaviour of climatic system is highly non periodic and obeys fractal statistics. Fractal nature allows for a mathematical comparison of irregularity characteristics of climatic changes obtained from a variety of observations and recorded at different time scales.
