engine - heat is taken in at a high
|
|
|
|
temperature,
converted into work, and then
|
|
|
|
ejected
at a lower temperature.

For
hurricanes source of heat is sensible heat
|
|
|
|
at
surface and latent heat of condensation.
|
|
|
• |
Heat
taken in at ocean surface, converted to
|
|
|
|
kinetic
energy of wind motion, and lost at top
|
|
|
due
to radiation cooling.
