“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Scale-specific sinuosity (S3) summarizes bend sizes of linear features and associated contributions to sinuosity across a range of scales.
• The S3 plot is analogous to a frequency histogram of bend sizes, like a fingerprint or a spectral signature
• The S3 is an easily computed metric to assess influential scales in bend patterns of linear stream features
• The paper formalizes a relation between sinuosity and fractal dimension..."

The intricacy of the #fjords not only makes for a majestic landscape but increases the coastline geometric complexity, which can be quantified using #FractalDimension...
We are used to 1, 2 and 3 dimensions, for examples lines, squares and cubes, respectively, and we intuitively understand that complexity increases with increasing dimensions...
