Abstract
The temporal fluctuations of the 1880-1994 seismicity recorded in Pannonian Basin were investigated by means of the Fano Factor and Allan Factor methods, which allows us to estimate the power spectrum for point processes. Up to our knowledge, this is the first scaling analysis performed on earthquake series spanning for almost one century. Our findings point out a presence of two temporal regimes in the analyzed seismicity, which is characterized by quasi-Poissonian behavior for low to intermediate timescales for up to about 1/2 years, and by scaling behavior for higher timescales with scaling exponent around 0.3-0.4, indicating a rather high time-clustering of the events. Furthermore the Allan Factor shows the presence of a periodicity at about 2.23 years for events with magnitude larger or equal to 3.5.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
