Bifurcation Analysis of a Piecewise-Smooth Arctic Energy Balance Model

Description:

This dissertation investigates a single-column model for Arctic energy balance in the limit as a smoothing parameter associated with ice-albedo feedback tends to zero. This limit is a common modeling approximation used in conceptual climate models, and we explore the implications of taking this limit on bifurcations associated with the...
