Hi all.
Where can I find some good introductory sources teaching the use of statistical mechanics to study things like tornado formation or climate in general? I took P. Chem., a while ago now but I'm reviewing the material independently. We used one of Moore's texts, 80's - ish, and in it he discussed a reaction in vitro that formed a swirling ringed structure, negentropic, at the expense of free energy. Just curious folks. That's a good thing. I think.
