By employing the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation we compared time averaged properties of a set of UPOs embedded in a chaotic attractor and those of a set of segments of chaotic orbits, and reported that the distribution of a time average of a dynamical variable along UPOs with lower and higher periods are similar to each other and the variance of the distribution is small, in contrast with that along chaotic segments. The result is similar to those for low dimensional ordinary differential equations (Lorenz system, R system and Economic system) reported in Saiki and Yamada, 2009, Physical Review $E$ , 79(1) R015201. 1 Introduction Chaos in dynamical systems has been discussed in relation to UPOs (un- stable periodic orbits) embedded in a chaotic attractor, as a chaotic orbit is considered to be approximatable by an ensemble of UPOs which are densely distributed in the chaotic attractor [3]. Recently, in some turbulence sys- tems in fluid dynamics, it has been shown that even only a few UPOs with relatively low periods can capture mean properties of chaotic motions [6]. For the turbulent Couette flow of rather low Reynolds number in the full
