| Zusammenfassung |
| It has been customary in the last few decades to employ stochastic models to
represent complex data sets encountered in geophysics, particularly in
hydrology. This article reviews a deterministic geometric procedure to data
modeling, one that represents whole data sets as derived distributions of
simple multifractal measures via fractal functions. It is shown how such a
procedure may lead to faithful holistic representations of existing
geophysical data sets that, while complementing existing representations via
stochastic methods, may also provide a compact language for geophysical
complexity. The implications of these ideas, both scientific and
philosophical, are stressed. |
