Entropie im Erdsystem: Wie das Klimasystem arbeitet

Physik in unserer Zeit, EarlyView.
Bei den Energieumwandlungen der Erde ist die Entropie immer mit dabei. Wie ein Kompass bestimmt sie dabei die Richtung, sie setzt Leistungsgrenzen, die Klima formen und erneuerbare Energien begrenzen. Zusammenfassung Entropie setzt Grenzen, wenn Energie umgewandelt und Arbeit geleistet wird – so wie bei Wärmekraftmaschinen und Kraftwerken.

Ibis, EarlyView.
The post‐breeding period is a critical yet overlooked phase in the annual cycle of migratory birds, where individuals must resolve competing bioenergetic trade‐offs between recovery from breeding, moult and migratory fuelling. Using GPS data from 54 adult Lesser Kestrels Falco naumanni tracked across Spain, we analysed 76 post‐breeding tracks to ...
