  3. Happy birthday to #physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)! He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples). It states that two bodies of different temperature brought together in a closed system will reach thermal equilibrium; or, you cannot use a cold thing to 🧵

  4. Basics of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP):

    1. THE HORIZONTAL MOMENTUM EQUATION:
    \[
    \frac{d\mathbf{V}}{dt} + f\hat{k} \times \mathbf{V} = -\nabla \phi + \frac{\sigma}{p_s} \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} \nabla p_s + \mathbf{F}
    \]

    2. THE CONTINUITY EQUATION:
    \[
    \frac{\partial p_s}{\partial t} + \nabla \cdot (p_s \mathbf{V}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial \sigma}(p_s \dot{\sigma}) = 0
    \]

    3. THE THERMODYNAMIC ENERGY EQUATION:
    \[
    \frac{1}{R} \frac{d}{dt} \left[ \sigma \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} \right] + \frac{RT}{C_p p} \left[ p_s \dot{\sigma} + \sigma\dot{p_s} \right] = -Q
    \]

    4. HYDROSTATIC EQUATION:
    \[
    \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial \sigma} = -\frac{RT_v}{\sigma}
    \]

    5. SURFACE PRESSURE TENDENCY EQUATION:
    \[\displaystyle
    \frac{\partial p_s}{\partial t} = -\int_{0}^{1} \nabla\cdot (p_s \mathbf{V}) \, d\sigma
    \]

    6. MOISTURE EQUATION:
    \[\displaystyle
    \frac{\partial}{\partial t} (p_s q) + \nabla\cdot (p_s q \mathbf{V}) + \frac{\partial}{\partial \sigma} (p_s q \dot{\sigma}) = p_s S
    \]

    The six primary unknowns are: \(\mathbf{V}\) (horizontal wind velocity), \(p_s\) (surface pressure), \(T\) (temperature), \(q\) (specific humidity or moisture), \(\phi\) (geopotential), and \(\dot{\sigma}\) (sigma velocity or vertical velocity in \(\sigma\)-coordinates).

  5. This week, let’s spotlight an excellent foundational Nordita lecture series by Dr. Ivan Khaymovich, available in #OpenAccess on Enabla. This advanced Master-level course offers a modern introduction to the principles of thermalization, ergodicity, and their breakdown in both classical and quantum systems. It's a timely and valuable resource for students and researchers working on nonequilibrium dynamics, chaos, information thermodynamics, and localization phenomena.

    💡 Even better: Ivan is on Enabla and happy to help clarify any questions you may have about the lectures. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of one of the most active frontiers in theoretical physics; watch and discuss the course with its author and others at enabla.com/set/182

    "Temperature as joules per bit"
    by C.A. Bédard, S. Berthelette, X. Coiteux-Roy, and S. Wolf

    Am. J. Phys. 93, 390 (2025)
    doi.org/10.1119/5.0198820

    Entropy is an important but largely misunderstood quantity. A lot of this confusion arise from its original formulation within the framework of Thermodynamics. Looking at it from a microscopic point of view (i.e. approaching it as a Statistical Mechanics problem) makes it a lot more digestible, but its ties to Thermodynamics still creates a lot of unnecessary complications.
    In this paper the authors suggest that by removing the forced connection between entropy and the Kelvin temperature scale, one can rethink entropy purely in terms of information capacity of a Physical system, which takes away a lot of the difficulties usually plaguing the understanding of what entropy is actually about.
    I don't think the SI will ever consider their suggestion to remove Kelvins as a fundamental unit and include bits, but this paper will be a great boon to any student banging their head against the idea of entropy for the first (or second, or third) time.
