IMPLICATION OF ENTROPY FLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM AS SUGGESTED BY THE LIFE CYCLE OF A HURRICANE
Description: In this journal article entropy flows of Hurricane Katrina (2005) are calculated using the entropy flow formula appropriate for atmospheric dynamical systems. The results imply that classical thermodynamic entropy may serve as an order parameter for an atmospheric system and that entropy flow analysis might provide a new insight into the mechanism responsible for the life cycle of the system.
