Geophysical time-series analysis reveals heteroscedasticity and nonlinearity in continuous subsurface radon emissions, indicating complex natural transport dynamics.
The basic statistical features of radon time series from continuous radon monitoring at the Elat granite, Israel are analysed. A similar analysis is carried out for ancillary and possibly related geophysical parameters for the Elat area. The results show that air temperature, precipitable water and long‐wave radiation time series exhibit constant variance over the analyzed period, while radon time series, atmospheric pressure, short‐wave radiation and total electron content exhibit heteroscedasticity. Furthermore, for radon and short‐wave radiation the variability is associated with the overall mean level, while for atmospheric pressure such an association is not present. The analyzed radon time series not only are non‐stationary but also nonlinear, reflecting the complex dynamics of radon emanation and transport in natural subsurface systems.
