Python software for turbulence and nonlinear dynamics - turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath

What is it about?

We provide a Python-based software library that allows for space plasma data to be analysed via a comprehensive array of analysis metods: from spectral behaviour, and statistics of fluctuations to high order analysis methods, such as multifractals and mutual information. An example of possible applications illustrates the behaviour of turbulence properties of the magnetic field measured in Earth's magnetosheath.

Why is it important?

A known fact is that different estimators can describe different aspects of the underlying phenomenon, thus a software tool that includes many types of estimators can prove itself very useful in advancing our understanding of complex phenomena in space plasmas, such as turbulence.
