Burlaga, L.F. (1991). Multifractal structure of speed fluctuations in recurrent streams at 1 AU and near 6 AU. Geophysical Research Letters 18: doi: 10.1029/91GL01221. issn: 0094-8276.

This paper demonstrates the existence of multifractal structure in the velocity fluctuations associated with recurrent streams at 1 AU and near 6 AU. There is a significant evolution of the multifractal spectrum from 1 AU to 6 AU. At 1 AU the fluctuations on all scales in the indicated range are related to the local speed gradients associated with the stream structure. Near 6 AU the multifractal structure of the speed fluctuations approaches the universal form for intermittent turbulence for moments q>5, and it has approximately the value expected for a set of discontinuities for q=2. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
