Surface Entropy of Shifts of Finite Type
… H<sub>S</sub> : χ x R → [0,∞] which we call the surface entropy of a shift. This definition is inspired by the topological entropy of a subshift and we compare and contrast several structural properties of surface entropy to entropy. We demonstrate that much like entropy, the finiteness of …

Entropy, Energy and Dynamics of Coalescing Spherical and 1D Aerosols
… is a non-equilibrium process that generates entropy as the aerosol evolves. While not at equilibrium, a form of steady state arises whereby the aerosol size spectrum achieves a self-preserving distribution (SPD). Although the existence of this SPD is well accepted, the transition to SPD has …

Dependence of continental severe convective instability on climatological environmental conditions
… advection of air masses, diabatic heating of the surface boundary layer, and radiative cooling of the free troposphere are computed. In all 8 cases studied, CAPE buildup is found to be driven primarily by fluxes of heat and moisture from the surface into the boundary layer on sub-diurnal time …
