             abstract = "Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a 
                         major role in several processes such as the formation of dense 
                         structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the 
                         amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and 
                         diffusion of cosmic rays. Despite its importance, interstellar 
                         turbulence, like turbulence in general, is far from being fully 
                         understood. In this review we present the basics of turbulence 
                         physics, focusing on the statistics of its structure and energy 
                         cascade. We explore the physics of compressible and incompressible 
                         turbulent flows, as well as magnetised cases. The most relevant 
                         observational techniques that provide quantitative insights into 
                         interstellar turbulence are also presented. We also discuss the 
                         main difficulties in developing a three-dimensional view of 
                         interstellar turbulence from these observations. Finally, we 
                         briefly present what the main sources of turbulence in the 
                         interstellar medium could be.",
