  8. 8 Entropy Production of Atmospheric Heat Transport

    We examine the rate of entropy produced by the atmospheric general circulation and the hypothesis that it adjusts itself towards a macroscopic state...

  9. 10 Thermodynamics of the Ocean Circulation: A Global Perspective on the Ocean System and Living Systems

    In this chapter, we investigate thermodynamics in a global-scale open ocean circulation and discuss the physical properties of “living systems”, that...

  10. 16 Temperature, Biogenesis, and Biospheric Self-Organization

    We argue that the biosphere has evolved deterministically as a selforganized system, given the initial conditions of the Sun-Earth system. With...

  11. 18 Insights from Thermodynamics for the Analysis of Economic Processes

    The laws of thermodynamics constrain transformation of materials and energy, and thus have implications for economic processes. This paper provides...

    Chapter

  13. 15 Coupled Evolution of Earth’s Atmosphere and Biosphere

    Earth’s climate has remained conducive to life for more than 3.5 billion years, probably because of higher concentrations of CO2 and CH4 greenhouse...
