Asymmetry of AMOC Hysteresis in a State-of-the-Art Global Climate Model
René M. van Westen, Henk A. Dijkstra
We study hysteresis properties of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) under a slowly-varying North Atlantic (20N -- 50N) freshwater flux forc…
The effect of model freshwater flux biases on the multi-stable regime of the AMOC
Henk A. Dijkstra, Rene M. van Westen
It is known that global climate models (GCMs) have substantial biases in the surface freshwater flux which forces the ocean component of these models. Using numerical bifurcation a…
New Physics-Based Early Warning Signal shows AMOC is on Tipping Course
René M. van Westen, Michael Kliphuis, Henk A. Dijkstra
One of the most prominent climate tipping elements is the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which can potentially collapse due to the input of fresh water in the…
Data-driven methods to estimate the committor function in conceptual ocean models
Valérian Jacques-Dumas, René M. van Westen, Freddy Bouchet +1
In recent years, several climate subsystems have been identified that may undergo a relatively rapid transition compared to the changes in their forcing. Such transitions are rare…
Bifurcation analysis of a North Atlantic Ocean box model with two deep-water formation sites
Alannah Neff, Andrew Keane, Henk A. Dijkstra +1
The tipping of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to a 'shutdown' state due to changes in the freshwater forcing of the ocean is of particular interest and conc…
Multistability and Intermediate Tipping of the Atlantic Ocean Circulation
Johannes Lohmann, Henk A. Dijkstra, Markus Jochum +2
Tipping points (TP) in climate sub-systems are usually thought to occur at a well-defined, critical forcing parameter threshold, via destabilization of the system state by a single…
