threshold behavior in climate models
Threshold behavior in climate models refers to the point at which a significant and sudden change occurs in the climate system, triggered by external forcing factors or internal feedback mechanisms. It represents a critical threshold where small changes in these factors can lead to abrupt and disproportionate shifts in climate patterns, rather than gradual and linear responses.
