Zusammenfassung |
The dynamics of complex systems are founded on universal principles that can
be used to describe disparate problems ranging from particle physics to
economies of societies. A corollary is that transferring ideas and results
from investigators in hitherto disparate areas will cross-fertilize and lead
to important new results. In this contribution, we investigate the existence
of a universal behavior, if any, in solar flares, magnetic storms,
earthquakes and pre-seismic electromagnetic (EM) emissions, extending the
work recently published by Balasis et al. (2011a). A common characteristic in
the dynamics of the above-mentioned phenomena is that their energy release is
basically fragmentary, i.e. the associated events are being composed of
elementary building blocks. By analogy with earthquakes, the magnitude of the
magnetic storms, solar flares and pre-seismic EM emissions can be
appropriately defined. Then the key question we can ask in the frame of
complexity is whether the magnitude distribution of earthquakes, magnetic
storms, solar flares and pre-fracture EM emissions obeys the same law. We
show that these apparently different extreme events, which occur in the
solar-terrestrial system, follow the same energy distribution function. The
latter was originally derived for earthquake dynamics in the framework of
nonextensive Tsallis statistics. |
