The researchers found that even with the molecular motors driving the
system out of
equilibrium, the defects were still able to sense the curvature, with the +1 / 2 defects migrating
towards the region of positive curvature and the -1 / 2 defects migrating
towards the region of negative curvature.
Aging itself is a
system - wide movement
towards chemical
equilibrium (away from the highly regulated far - from -
equilibrium state) and as such is an imbalance from which all living organisms suffer.
As atmospheric temperatures increase, therefore, heat transfer into the oceans increases as the
system tends
towards a new
equilibrium temperature.
(In full thermodynamic
equilibrium, all photon - non-photon interactions, including Raman and Compton scattering, would sustain that
equilibrium; all such interactions tend to eventually bring a
system towards such
equilibrium provided that photons (as well as other particles) are not entering or leaving the
system from other
systems with different conditions.)
EOD makes no difference to
equilibrium temperature it only makes a difference in the speed at which the
system moves
towards equilibrium.
When the
system is just started and is speeding up
towards equilibrium, all kinds of amplification occurs.
The observed climate is just the
equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation
systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials between all the many ocean and atmosphere layers back
towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is now stated «An isolated
system, if not already in its state of thermodynamic
equilibrium, spontaneously evolves
towards it.
The Second Law says: «An isolated
system, if not already in its state of thermodynamic
equilibrium, spontaneously evolves
towards it.
The entire point of Fourier's Law is that it drives any
system with conductivity
towards isothermal
equilibrium.
* Here Anthony Watts acknowledges the fact that AGW has nothing to do with faith, but is true and tried science that should be the guideline for future, as physics and engineering both point to the fact that once a
system that tries to reach an
equilibrium according to QM (approximated by Newtonian mechanics) is disturbed enough it will change
towards a new
equilibrium state with potentially catastrophic and chaotic alterations in the
system, which will present problems for the subsystems functioning within this
system, in the AGW case this could be the human cultural
system, though Watts doesn't mention it in the lead.
As per my posts above, it is possible for DLR to increase more than evaporation, and so the warming from the DLR beats the cooling from evaporation, leading to a warming whereby the
system is moving
towards equilibrium by increasing temperature and hence increasing sensible heat flux and emitted longwave radiation.
The observed climate is just the
equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation
systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials above and below the troposphere back
towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).
I say this seems at odds with your statement «The observed climate is just the
equilibrium response to such variations with the positions of the air circulation
systems and the speed of the hydrological cycle always adjusting to bring energy differentials above and below the troposphere back
towards equilibrium (Wilde's Law?).»
