Multiscaling and multifractality in the earth's topography

Topographic transects corning from four different Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) which collectively span different ranges of scales from 20000 km to 0.5 m are analyzed. Power spectra, trace moments and structure functions are used to show that continents and oceans have the same moment scaling func...
