The apparent stress, (tau)a, defined as the ration of seismic energy, Es, and seismic moment, M0, has been formulated as the average stress associated with radiation resistance of a sliding fault during as earthquake. The over damped dynamics approximation of a seismic source implies that the seismic energy rate at a given time is proportional to the square of the slip velocity integrates over the rupture area. This result allows us to interpret the apparent stress as a correlation integral of the slip velocity field over space and time. Consequently, other macroscopic parameters, such as momentary and local apparent stress, (tau)m and (tau)l, are proposed to characterize spatial and temporal heterogeneity of complex seismic sources. This approach is used to understand fluctuations of the apparent stress, and other macroscopic parameters in earthquake populations, in terms of their microscopic representation.
