The climate system and the second law of thermodynamics
Martin S. Singh, Morgan E O'Neill
The second law of thermodynamics implies a relationship between the net entropy export by the Earth and its internal irreversible entropy production. The application of this constr…
Inertial waves in axisymmetric tropical cyclones
Morgan E O'Neill, Daniel R. Chavas
The heat engine model of tropical cyclones describes a thermally direct overturning circulation. Outflowing air slowly subsides as radiative cooling to space balances adiabatic war…
Maximizing simulated tropical cyclone intensity with action minimization
David A. Plotkin, Robert J. Webber, Morgan E O'Neill +2
Direct computer simulation of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) in weather models is limited by computational expense. Intense TCs are rare and have small-scale structures, making it…
Practical rare event sampling for extreme mesoscale weather
Robert J. Webber, David A. Plotkin, Morgan E O'Neill +2
Extreme mesoscale weather, including tropical cyclones, squall lines, and floods, can be enormously damaging and yet challenging to simulate; hence, there is a pressing need for mo…
