Application of superstatistics to atmospheric turbulence

Statistical Mechanics 2017-08-23 v1 Astrophysics Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

We successfully apply the recent developed superstatistics theory to a temporal series of turbulent wind measurements recorded by the anemometers of Florence airport. Within this approach we can reproduce very well the fluctuations and the pdfs of wind velocity returns and differences.
