Abstract
    In the marine sciences, continuous monitoring systems have been regarded as very useful tools to provide continuous high frequency measurements of many parameters. We analyse here a high frequency time series of temperature measurements recorded every 10 min between 1997 and 2004 in the macro tidal Seine estuary (France) by a Marel buoy, an automatic monitoring network for littoral environment. We have adapted multi-scale data analysis methods to deal with the many missing values present in the time series. A power spectral density analysis is performed over time scales spanning 5 decades, from 20 min to more than 7 years. A scale invariant behaviour of the form E (f) = f-ß with β = 2.2 is revealed for scales below 5 h. Over this scaling range, we have performed structure functions analysis, and shown that the Seine river temperature data exhibit turbulent-like intermittent properties, with multifractal statistics. The multifractal exponents obtained possess some similarities with passive scalar turbulence results.
