1211.1181 (Bernd Schalge et al.)

Fluctuation Theorem in an Atmospheric Circulation Model    [PDF]

Bernd Schalge, Richard Blender, Jeroen Wouters, Klaus Fraedrich, Frank Lunkeit
Evidence for the validity of the Fluctuation Theorem (FT) in an atmospheric Global Circulation Model is found. The model is hydrostatic with variable numbers of vertical levels and different horizontal resolutions. For finite time intervals the largest local Lyapunov exponent (LLLE) is found to be negative consistent with predictions of the FT. The effect is present for resolutions up to wave numbers l=42 (~ 250km) and 10 levels.
