The long‐term mean properties of the global climate system and those of turbulent fluid
systems are reviewed from a thermodynamic viewpoint. Two general expressions are …

Throughout Earth's history, life has increased greatly in abundance, complexity, and
diversity. At the same time, it has substantially altered the Earth's environment, evolving …

An advanced, practical approach to the first and second laws of thermodynamics Advanced
Engineering Thermodynamics bridges the gap between engineering applications and the …

As a consequence of recent increased awareness of the social and political dimensions of
climate, many non-specialists discover a need for information about the variety of available …

Land surface temperatures (LSTs) are strongly shaped by radiation but are modulated by
turbulent fluxes and hydrologic cycling as the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere …

Constructal theory is the view that the generation of flow configuration is a physics
phenomenon that can be based on a physics principle (the constructal law):“For a finite-size …

Jaynes' information theory formalism of statistical mechanics is applied to the stationary
states of open, non-equilibrium systems. First, it is shown that the probability distribution p Γ …

Most discussion of habitable planets has focused on Earth-like planets with globally
abundant liquid water. For an “aqua planet” like Earth, the surface freezes if far from its sun …

The coupled biosphere–atmosphere system entails a vast range of processes at different
scales, from ecosystem exchange fluxes of energy, water and carbon to the processes that …
