... In this case, the main vortex in the Benard cell is decomposed into smaller ones as a result of ten perioddoubling bifurcations. It is shown that the resulting turbulence is coherent and determinate; the fractal character (local selfsimilarity) of its spectrum is found. ... It is shown that the real atmospheric turbulence is the result of mixing of different coherent structures. ...
