TodayInterplay between order and chaos in the
climate systemFrom space, mid-latitude cyclones look like
Von Karman’s vorticesBut atmosphere is NOT 2D at all
Dynamical/thermodynamical processesWe’ll focus on entropy production and
coarse graining: irreversibility at various scales! How to account for them?

Atmospheric MotionsThree contrasting approaches:
Those who like maps, look for features/particlesThose who like regularity, look for wavesThose who like irreversibility, look for
turbulence
![Page 6: Coarse-graining and Entropy Production in a Climate Model - Part 3-](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813594550346895d9d0651/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

CommentsNone of the 3 approaches is fully satisfactory
The atmosphere has indeed features, but organised motions are just part of the story
Particles have a life-cycle: what generates them, what dissipates them?
The waves we observe result from unstable processes – energy budgets are crucial
Nonlinearities turbulent mixing and dissipationScaling properties are observed at larger scales:
turbulence is macro-turbulenceBaroclinic (3D) / barotropic (2D) interplay Lorenz Energy Cycle

Other peculiarities of the atmosphereNegative viscosity phenomena:
Turbulent momentum fluxes can be directed towards the region of high momentum (Jets)
Turbulent: fast, non-zonally symmetric (but far from microscopic, infinitesimal!)
Discovered by V. StarrThe atmosphere is not a “simple”, Onsager-
like dissipative system – eddy viscosity?
Such phenomena are due to long-range correlations (travelling waves!)
… but how can this be sustained?

Note:If heat transport along T is strong, η is smallIf the transport along T is weak, α is small

A step backwards
Let’s consider a quasi-equilibrium system where Onsager relations apply
with A positive definite quadratic formEP is locally positive!Let’s use extensively the Parseval

We obtain:
Where is the entropy produced at space scale kl and t scale ωm

Coarse GrainingWe perform a coarse graining on our data
cut-off for |ωm| > |ωMAX| and |kl |> |kMAX|
Estimate of EP:
And: the coarser the graining (lower values for the cut-off), the lower the value of the estimate of the EP
Each scale contributes with a positive termDifferent scales tell about different processes

Entropy Production in the CS
It is NOT a diffusive system, as we have seen
It is a non-equilibrium, multiphase system
What are our expectations on the properties of ?
Climate is VERY heterogeneous (horizontal vs vertical), and seasonally and daily forced
Feedbacks, re-equilibration processes

temporal kernel τ and spatial kernel v

CommentsFull Coarse graining
Indirect formula gives 0: the system is reduced to a 0D body, which absorbs and emits radiation at a given temperature
Direct formula gives min EP = SKE
Concluding we get: 13 mWK-1m-2 SKE
6 mWK-1m-2 Shor
33 mWK-1m-2 Sver

Comment The coarser the graining, the lower the
estimated value of entropy productionWe lose information about transfer of energy
across domains at different temperatures
From indirect method: can separate vertical/ horizontal only transfer processesLosing info on the vertical structure is very badremoving all resolution gives 0
Direct Method: we retain the effect of KE dissipation also at lowest resolution

InterestingLet’s compare the effect of coarse graining
Note that
![Page 33: Coarse-graining and Entropy Production in a Climate Model - Part 3-](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56813594550346895d9d0651/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
InterpretationSystem is forced, fluctuates and
dissipatesThe correlation btw radiative heating
rates & temperature >0 at all scales Energy input temperature increase
The correlation btw material heating rates & temperature <0 at all scales T fluctuation relaxation
System driven by radiative forcing, T fluctuations dissipated by material fluxes

What we have learnedPositive contribution to EP comes from
all time and space scalesNot so locally! Waves allow for this.13 mWK-1m-2 SKE
6 mWK-1m-2 Shor
33 mWK-1m-2 Sver
This looks like being a general resultIt may be a way to generalize Onsager-like
properties to far from equilibrium systems
Should be used in other, simpler systems as well (Aquaplanet, Rayleigh-Benard)
