contents The aim of this second part of the article is to study the absolute definition of the seawater entropy described in Part I with several concrete cases. Observed vertical profiles and polar transects, as well as analysed surface data, show that very different temperatures and salinity values can organise to create new isentropic regions. This can only be revealed by the absolute formulation of the entropy of seawater (Arctic Ocean; Bay of Bengal; Mediterranean, Black, and Caspian Seas). Existing hypotheses to explain these results include the possible impact of turbulent processes that must be applied to the entropies of the atmosphere and oceans.
