Maximum entropy production, cloud feedback, and climate change
[1] A steady-state energy-balance climate model based on a global constraint of maximum entropy production is used to examine cloud feedback and the response of surface temperature T to doubled atmospheric CO2. The constraint ensures that change in zonal cloud amount q necessarily involves change in the convergence KX of meridional energy flow. Without other feedbacks, the changes in q, KX and ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Production and Time Varying Problems: The Seasonal Cycle in a Conceptual Climate Model
It has been suggested that the maximum entropy production (MEP) principle, or MEP hypothesis, could be an interesting tool to compute climatic variables like temperature. In this climatological context, a major limitation of MEP is that it is generally assumed to be applicable only for stationary systems. It is therefore often anticipated that critical climatic features like the seasonal cycle ...
متن کاملFrom Maximum Entropy to Maximum Entropy Production: A New Approach
Evidence from climate science suggests that a principle of maximum thermodynamic entropy production can be used to make predictions about some physical systems. I discuss the general form of this principle and an inherent problem with it, currently unsolved by theoretical approaches: how to determine which system it should be applied to. I suggest a new way to derive the principle from statisti...
متن کاملA Maximum Entropy Typological Model
Introduction. One of the most contested debates in phonology concerns identifying factors that affect typology. The Analytic Bias approach (AB) claims that biases in learning affect the typology, while the Channel Bias approach (CB) assumes phonetic precursors and transmission of language affect the typology (Moreton 2008). Empirical evidence in favor of both hypotheses exists: processes that a...
