Atmospheric turbulence and superstatistics
arXiv:cond-mat/0508257 · doi:10.1051/epn:2005603
Abstract
Nonequilibrium systems with large-scale fluctuations of a suitable system parameter are often effectively described by a superposition of two statistics, a superstatistics. Here we illustrate this concept by analysing experimental data of fluctuations in atmospheric wind velocity differences at Florence airport.
