Multi-fractal thermal characteristics of the southwestern GIN sea upper layer

Change of multifractal thermal characteristics in the western Philippine sea upper layer during internal wave-soliton propagation

“…A Bartlett window was used to taper the ends of each series before calculating the power spectra to reduce the spectral leakage in the wavenumber domain. For a scaling process, one expects power law behavior (Chu et al, 2002;Chu, 2004),…”

“…A linear dependence of Log 2 [S(r, q)] on Log 2 (r) is found, with different q-values ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 (Chu, 2004).…”

“…Chu, 2004). The q-th order structure function is defined by Obviously, for small r, ∆T(x i , rl) represents the smallscale fluctuations (usually turbulence).…”
