Abstract
This reading exercise aims to investigate if adiabatic (or isentropic) conditions exist in the deepest parts of the earth’s ocean, based on the assumption that external factors such as motion and diffusion processes have little influence on deep water properties. It is not really a well established fact if isentropic conditions can ever exist in the deep ocean, although we expect them to be rare occurrences in nature, for entropy is not necessarily conserved in equilibrium thermodynamics.
