## Abstract Global climate models simulate the Earth's climate impressively at scales of continents and greater. At these scales, largeβscale dynamics and physics largely define the climate. At spatial scales relevant to policy makers, and to impacts and adaptation, many other processes may affect

## Abstract Paltridge has recently hypothesized that the mean global climate operates near a state of maximum entropy production. In this paper an attempt is made to justify this hypothesis by parametrizing the eddy heat fluxes in terms of eddy diffusivities and using the local potential method of
A 500-year run has been made with a global climatic model for current climatic conditions using a simple slab ocean with inferred oceanic heat transfers. The model exhibited multi-decadal warming and cooling episodes with changes in globally averaged, annual mean surface temperature of up to 017 C.
## Abstract Evapotranspiration is one of the basic components of the hydrologic cycle and essential for estimating irrigation water requirements. This paper investigates the modelling of evapotranspiration using the feedβforward artificial neural network (ANN) technique with the LevenbergβMarquardt
