Abstract

This paper is the second part of a previous paper (Marquet, 2019) dealing with the need to define the entropy with an absolute way, by using the third law of thermodynamics. In this second part it is shown that there is a need and interest to define a potential temperature which is a synonym of the moist-air absolute entropy, with several possible novel applications to study meteorology and climate processes.
