Precipitation : space
The easiest way to calculate the fractal dimension of an object is the box-counting method introduced above. In the case of the precipitations, the meteorological radar provides an instantaneous images of the precipitation area with different rain rates. These zones appear as fragmented, thus the image can be interpreted as a fractal object.
Applying the box-counting method on the aggregated images, one can found there exist a scale invariance law, with an exponent which represent the fractal dimension.
