Tutorials on the meteorological significance of the entropy variable "theta-s"
Abstract
This technical note is the sum of 8 Tutorials about the meteorological significance of the moist-air absolute entropy variable theta-s defined since Marquet (2011). I show several comparisons of isobaric charts and vertical cross-sections of the new variable (theta-s) with those with the old pseudo-adiabatic (theta'w) and/or equivalent (theta-e) variables.
