bifurcation theory in climate science
Bifurcation theory in climate science refers to the study of how complex climate systems can exhibit sudden, qualitative changes, called bifurcations, in response to small changes in external factors such as greenhouse gas concentrations or solar radiation. It explores how climate models representing these systems can transition between different stable states, leading to potentially significant and unpredictable shifts in climate patterns and behaviors.
