✦ Synopsis

Cantorian fractal spacetime ~uctuations characterize quantum!like chaos in atmospheric ~ows[ The macroscale atmospheric ~ow structure behaves as a uni_ed whole quantum system\ where the super! imposition of a continuum of eddies results in the observed global weather patterns with long!range spatiotemporal correlations\ such as that of the widely investigated El Nino phenomenon[ Large eddies are visualised as envelopes enclosing smaller eddies\ thereby generating a hierarchy of eddy circulations\ originating initially from a _xed primary small scale energising perturbation\ e[g[\ the frictional upward momentum ~ux at the boundary layer of the Earth|s surface[ In this paper\ it is shown that the relative motion concepts of Einstein|s Special and General Theories of Relativity are applicable to eddy circulations originating from a constant primary perturbation[ Þ 0888 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved[
