claim: “In their award winning book, ‘Taken By Storm’ ( 2007 ), Canadian researchers Christopher Essex and Ross McKitrick explain : ‘Temperature is not an amount of something [ like height or weight ].
evidence: This upper bound is called the maximum potential intensity, v p { \displaystyle v { p } } , and is given by v p 2 = C k C d T s − T o T o Δ k { \displaystyle v { p }^{ 2 }={ rac { C { k } }{ C { d } } }{ rac { T { s }-T { o } }{ T { o } } }\Delta k } where T s { \displaystyle T { s } } is the temperature of the sea surface, T o { \displaystyle T { o } } is the temperature of the outflow ( [ K ] ), Δ k { \displaystyle \Delta k } is the enthalpy difference between the surface and the overlying air ( [ J / kg ] ), and C k { \displaystyle C { k } } and C d { \displaystyle C { d } } are the surface exchange coefficients ( dimensionless ) of enthalpy and momentum, respectively.
