The existence of multifractal structure in the fluctuations of the magnetic field strength, temperature, and density in the recurrent flows at 1 AU is demonstrated. The multifractal scaling is observed over the range of periods from 2 to 32 hr for the magnetic field and density and from 2 to 16 hr for the temperature. The lower cutoff of 2 hr is related to the use of hour averages; it does not have physical significance. The upper cutoff of 32 hr (16 hr) represents the transition to the mesoscale regime in which the fluctuations are determined by the stream structure. Thus the multifractal structure represents fluctuations superimposed on the corotating stream profile and the heliospheric plasma sheet profile. The multifractal structure is interpreted as a texture superimposed on the mesoscale profiles, the structure of the texture being related to the mesoscale structure itself.
