Abstract: Tsallis’ q-triplet [C. Tsallis, Dynamical scenario for nonextensive statistical mechanics, Physica A 340 (2004) 1–10] is the best empirical quantifier of nonextensivity. Here we study it with reference to an experimental time-series related to the daily depth-values of the stratospheric ozone layer. Pertinent data are expressed in Dobson units and range from 1978 to 2005. After the evaluation of the three associated Tsallis’ indices one concludes that nonextensivity is clearly a characteristic of the system under scrutiny.
