Multifractal analysis of the rainfall time distribution on the metropolitan area of Barcelona (Spain)

In most of the studies on scale properties in the rainfall process, multifractal behavior has been investigated without taking into account the different rain generation mechanisms involved. However, it is known that rain processes are related to certain scales, determined by climatological characte...
