Beyond Gaia: Thermodynamics of Life and Earth System Functioning (2004, background): “Some work has been done on the causes of these feedbacks within the context of poleward heat transport (e.g. Lorenz, 1960; Paltridge, 2001; Shimokawa and Ozawa, 2001, 2002; Ozawa et al., 2003).”
Mathematical and physical ideas for climate science (2013, background): “…different aspect of the climate’s thermodynamics, namely the study of its irreversibility by the investigation of its material entropy production, i.e.,the entropy produced by the geophysical fluid, neglecting the change in the properties of the radiative fields (Goody , 2000; Ozawa et al., 2003).”
An entropic‐stochastic representation of rainfall intermittency: The origin of clustering and persistence (2006, background): “However, it is worth noting that, in a physical context, different (though intuitively related) to the stochastic context of the present study (described in section 5), the relevant hypothesis of maximum entropy production (according to which the rate of entropy production is at a maximum), explains”
