The <i>l</i><sup>1/2</sup> law and multifractal topography: theory and analysis

Over wide ranges of scale, orographic processes have no obvious scale; this has provided the justification for both deterministic and monofractal scaling models of the earth's topography. These models predict that differences in altitude (Δh) vary with horizontal separation (<i>l</i&g...
