We have previously shown that the probability distribution of the order parameter κ<sub>1</sub> of seismicity in natural time turns to be bimodal when approaching a mainshock. This reflects that, for various natural time window lengths ending at a given mainshock, the fluctuations of κ<sub>1</sub> considerably increase for smaller lengths, i.e., upon approaching a mainshock. Here, as a second step, we investigate the order parameter fluctuations, but when considering a natural time window of a fixed-length sliding through a seismic catalog. We find that when this length becomes comparable with the lead time of Seismic Electric Signals activities (i.e., of the order of a few months), the fluctuations exhibit a global minimum before the strongest mainshock. Thus, the approach of the latter is characterized by two distinct features of the order parameter fluctuations that complement each other. |
