The stochastic multiplicative cascade structure of deterministic numerical models of the atmosphere

By direct statistical analysis we show that over almost all their range of scales and to within typically better than ±1%, atmospheric fields obtained from analyses and numerical integrations of atmospheric models have the multifractal structure predicted by multiplicative cascade mod...
