In this paper, we present further evidence, based on new data from the Large Scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA), that the generalized thermostatistics provides a simple and accurate framework for modeling the statistical behavior of fully developed turbulence.

Geological systems such as petroleum reservoirs can be investigated using Tsallis entropy and multiplicative hierarchical cascade models. The occurrence of non-Gaussianity is a sign of uncertainty and a phase transition, which could indicate the existence of a petroleum reservoir. Two important...
