Abstract
The spatial distribution of magnetic fields on the solar surface and the temporal distribution of solar magnetic activity each show the dual properties of intermittence and scaling symmetry. Both distributions therefore define measures amenable to multifractal and wavelet analyses (Cadavid, et al 1994; Lawrence, et al 1993, 1995a, 1995b, 1996). We present examples of applications of these techniques to the monthly Wolf Sunspot Number from 1749 to 1993, to global temperature fluctuations of the Earth, and to a high-resolution (~ 2″), digital, polarimetric image of line-of-sight magnetic field in quiet solar photosphere made with the San Fernando Observatory vacuum solar telescope and video spectra-spectroheliograph system.
