Stochastic aspects of climatic transitions-response to a periodic forcing

Open access
Nicolis, C.·1982·Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography

Abstract

The time-dependent properties of the Fokker–Planck equation corresponding to a zero-dimensional climate model, showing bistable behavior and subject to a weak external periodic forcing are analyzed. Conditions under which the response is amplified are found analytically. In this way the possibility of transitions between climatic states is established. The results are illustrated by the 100,000-yr periodicity of the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, in connection with glaciation cycles.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
