Reduction Methods in Climate Dynamics -- A Brief Review

Felix Hummel, Peter Ashwin, Christian Kuehn

We review a range of reduction methods that have been, or may be useful for connecting models of the Earth's climate system of differing complexity. We particularly focus on method…

Quasipotentials for coupled escape problems and the gate-height bifurcation

Peter Ashwin, Jennifer Creaser, Krasimira Tsaneva-Atanasova

The escape statistics of a gradient dynamical system perturbed by noise can be estimated using properties of the associated potential landscape. More generally, the Freidlin and We…

Climate Response and Sensitivity: Timescales and Late Tipping Points

Robbin Bastiaansen, Peter Ashwin, Anna S. von der Heydt

Climate response metrics are used to quantify the Earth's climate response to anthropogenic changes of atmospheric CO2. Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) is one such metric tha…

Rate-Induced Tipping: Thresholds, Edge States and Connecting Orbits

Sebastian Wieczorek, Chun Xie, Peter Ashwin

Rate-induced tipping (R-tipping) occurs when time-variation of input parameters of a dynamical system interacts with system timescales to give genuine nonautonomous instabilities.…

Uniting Parametric Uncertainty and Tipping Diagrams

Kerstin Lux, Peter Ashwin, Richard Wood +1

Various subsystems of the Earth system may undergo critical transitions by passing a so-called tipping point, under sustained changes to forcing. For example, the Atlantic Meridion…

Dead zones and phase reduction of coupled oscillators

Peter Ashwin, Christian Bick, Camille Poignard

A dead zone in the interaction between two dynamical systems is a region of their joint phase space where one system is insensitive to the changes in the other. These can arise in…
