Empirical study of multifractal phase transitions in atmospheric turbulence

We study atmospheric wind turbulence in the framework of universal multifractals, using several medium resolution (10 Hz) time series. We cut these original time series into 704 scale invariant realizations. We then compute the moment scaling exponent of the energy flux <i>K(q)</i> for 4...
