contents We exhibit a continuously varying family $F_λ$ of homeomorphisms of the sphere $S^2$, for which each $F_λ$ is a measurable pseudo-Anosov map. Measurable pseudo-Anosov maps are generalizations of Thurston's pseudo-Anosov maps, and also of the generalized pseudo-Anosov maps of [19]. They have a transverse pair of invariant full measure turbulations, consisting of streamlines which are dense injectively immersed lines: these turbulations are equipped with measures which are expanded and contracted uniformly by the homeomorphism. The turbulations need not have a good product structure anywhere, but have some local structure imposed by the existence of tartans: bundles of unstable and stable streamline segments which intersect regularly, and on whose intersections the product of the measures on the turbulations agrees with the ambient measure. Each map $F_λ$ is semi-conjugate to the inverse limit of the core tent map with slope $λ$: it is topologically transitive, ergodic with respect to a background Oxtoby-Ulam measure, has dense periodic points, and has topological entropy $h(F_λ) = \log λ$ (so that no two $F_λ$ are topologically conjugate). For a full measure, dense $G_δ$ set of parameters, $F_λ$ is a measurable pseudo-Anosov map but not a generalized pseudo-Anosov map, and its turbulations are nowhere locally regular.
