What Defines Stationarity in Space Plasmas

Starting from the concept of entropy defect in thermodynamics, we construct the entropy formulation of space plasmas, and then use it to develop a measure of their stationarity. In particular, we show that the statistics of this entropy results in two findings that improve our understanding of stati...
