Structural stochastic stability of a simple auto-oscillatory climatic feedback system.

Based on a more detailed model developed previously, governing possible feedbacks between sea ice extent (eta), deep-ocean temperature (theta), and atmospheric carbon dioxide, we have constructed a simple, deterministic, dynamical system for eta and theta that yields a stable limit cycle as a soluti...

Description
Summary:Based on a more detailed model developed previously, governing possible feedbacks between sea ice extent (eta), deep-ocean temperature (theta), and atmospheric carbon dioxide, we have constructed a simple, deterministic, dynamical system for eta and theta that yields a stable limit cycle as a solution. To make the system more realistic we add random (white noise) forcing and explore the new response as a function of the amplitude of this stochastic forcing. -from Authors
