Abstract
The dynamics of the Lorenz model of general circulation of the atmosph ere is investigated. Tile attractors found are characterized by calcul ating their Fourier spectra, Lyapunov exponents and dimensions. In add ition, the self similarity of the attractors is studied with the aid o f a Poincare map. A series of one-dimensional maps derived from the Po incare section illustrates tile structural changes of the attractors a s a function of parameters variations.
