Collier, M.R. (1993). On generating Kappa-like distribution functions using velocity space Lévy flights. Geophysical Research Letters 20: doi: 10.1029/93GL01702. issn: 0094-8276.

A simple model using random walk jumps in velocity space whose path lengths are governed by a power law or L¿vy flight probability distribution is shown to generate distribution functions that are Maxwellian at low velocities and power law at high velocities. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1993
