Abstract: Cantorian fractal spacetime fluctuations characterize quantumlike chaos in atmospheric flows. The macroscale atmospheric flow structure behaves as a unified whole quantum system, where, the superimposition 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 fixed primary small scale energising perturbation, e.g. the frictional upward momentum flux 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.

Review text

It is shown that the Cantorian fractal spacetime structure of atmospheric flow patterns is a result of the superposition of a continuum of eddies, which function as unified whole quantum system. The eddy circulations follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, in particular, the third law and, therefore, Newton's inverse square law for gravitation is applicable to eddy masses. The authors show that the relative motion of Einstein's special and general relativity theories are also applicable to eddy circulations originating from a constant primary perturbation.
