Multifractal character of surface latent heat flux

Papasimakis, Nikitas; Cervone, Guido; Pallikari, Fotini; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 371 (2006) 2, pp. 703-718

Surface latent heat flux (SLHF) has been associated with the study of natural hazards, such as earthquakes and hurricanes and has been proposed as a useful quantity in the prediction and monitoring of their evolution. In the present study the Mediterranean Sea, parts of Europe, Africa and Turkey...

Analysis of the spatial and temporal distributions between successive earthquakes: Nonextensive statistical mechanics viewpoint

Darooneh, Amir H.; Dadashinia, Cyruse - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 387 (2008) 14, pp. 3647-3654

The spatial and temporal distributions between successive earthquakes are treated in the framework of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We find temporal distributions exhibit the power law behavior; q-exponential with q1. It means the earthquakes are strongly correlated in time. The spatial...
