]]> Comment on Weather (Book) Report: 6 shelves of wonder! by Daniel http://spweatherstation.net/?p=282#comment-948 Daniel Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:35:28 +0000 http://spweatherstation.net/?p=282#comment-948 Those titles reflect my first 'physics' exposure to the topic of climate change. I remember going to a colloqium as a graduate student where the speaker was talking about the amount of energy that industrialization introduces into the enviornment. This energy increase is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics: it is impossible for any cyclic process to occur whose sole effect is the extraction of heat from a reservoir and performance of an equivalent amount of work. Read: there are no perfect engines. The point this speaker made was that introducing more energy into a system does NOT necessarily increase the temperature. However, it does increase the fluctuations. Violent weather then can be seen as a fluctuation. Those titles reflect my first ‘physics’ exposure to the topic of climate change.

Interested in what you are doing with your station and how you manage to have roof access on a building. :-) Mike Hi all,

Read your comment/invite on the lecture on my site and just wanted to let you know I saw it but was unable to join. Interested in what you are doing with your station and how you manage to have roof access on a building. :-)
