Internal energy, enthalpy and entropy are the key quantities to study thermodynamic properties of the moist atmosphere, because they correspond to the First (internal energy and enthalpy) and Second (entropy) Laws of thermodynamics. The aim…
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…
Calculations of entropy fluxes and production rate have been evaluated with some success to study atmospheric processes. However, recurring questions arise as to how best to take into account entropy flux due to radiation, for example. This…
The moist-air entropy is defined in Marquet (QJRMS 2011, arXiv:1401.1097) by $\boxed{s = s_{ref} + c_{pd} \: \ln(\theta_{s})}$ in terms of two constant values ($s_{ref}$, $c_{pd}$) and a potential entropy temperature denoted by $\theta_s$.…
The specific thermal enthalpy of a moist-air parcel is defined analytically following a method in which specific moist entropy is derived from the Third Law of thermodynamics. Specific thermal enthalpy is computed by integrating specific…
The moist-air entropy can be used to analyze and better understand the general circulation of the atmosphere or convective motions. Isentropic analyses are commonly based on studies of different equivalent potential temperatures, all of…
A moist entropy potential temperature -- denoted by ${\theta}_{s}$ -- is defined analytically in terms of the specific entropy for moist air. The expression for ${\theta}_{s}$ is valid for a general mixing of dry air, water vapour and…
A framework is introduced to compare moist `potential' temperatures. The equivalent potential temperature, $\theta_e,$ the liquid water potential temperature, $\theta_\ell,$ and the entropy potential temperature, $\theta_s$, are all shown…
A new potential vorticity is derived by using a specific entropy formulation expressed in terms of a moist-air entropy potential temperature. The new formulation is compared with Ertel's version and with others based on virtual and…
This article describes the third law of thermodynamics. This law is often poorly known and is often decried, or even considered optional and irrelevant to describe weather and climate phenomena. This, however, is inaccurate and contrary to…
Moist-air norms and inner-products are currently used in atmospheric science for computing dry or moist singular vectors and for determining forecast errors or sensitivity to observations based on tangent linear and adjoint models. A new…
Some existing approaches to modeling the thermodynamics of moist air make approximations that break $\textit{thermodynamic consistency}$, such that the resulting thermodynamics do not obey the 1st and 2nd laws or have other inconsistencies.…
The aim of this note is to derive the mixed-phase version of the moist-air entropy potential temperature $\theta_s$ derived in Marquet (2011). This mixed-phase version is suitable to describe parcels where liquid water and ice are allowed…
This study presents a new formulation for the norms and scalar products used in tangent linear or adjoint models to determine forecast errors and sensitivity to observations and to calculate singular vectors. The new norm is derived from…
Thermodynamic entropy is determined by a heat measurement through the Clausius equality. The entropy then formalizes a fundamental limitation of operations by the second law of thermodynamics. The entropy is also expressed as the Shannon…
The exergy of the dry atmosphere can be considered as another aspect of the meteorological theories of available energies. The local and global properties of the dry available enthalpy function, also called flow exergy, were investigated in…
The microscopic explanation of entropy has been challenged from both experimental and theoretical point of view. The expression of entropy is derived from the first law of thermodynamics indicating that entropy or the second law of…
A careful reading of old articles puts Olivier Pauluis' criticisms concerning the definition of isentropic processes in terms of a potential temperature closely associated with the entropy of moist air, together with the third principle of…
The essential postulates of classical thermodynamics are formulated, from which the second law is deduced as the principle of increase of entropy in irreversible adiabatic processes that take one equilibrium state to another. The entropy…
Accurate evaluation of enthalpy of vaporization (or latent heat of vaporization) and its variation with temperature is of great interest in practical applications, especially for combustion of liquid fuels. Currently, a theoretically…
