摘要
We have examined the burst lifetime distribution functions of various solar wind parameters for 1998 and 2003 and compared them with the same for contemporaneous SYM-H. The analysis yields clear power-law exponents of the lifetime probability distributions. The power laws are consistently observed for different activity thresholds showing that these features are robust and repeatable, although scaling can vary depending on solar cycle.
