耦合水行星中共存的气候吸引子

Co-existing climate attractors in a coupled aquaplanet

Maura Brunetti, Jérôme Kasparian, Christian Vérard

摘要:

探索地球气候等动力系统特性的第一步是确定轨迹渐进演变的不同相空间区域,称为“吸引子”。在一个给定的系统中,多个吸引子可以在相同的强迫作用下共存。在吸引力盆地的边界,小的变化会产生大的影响。因此,它们是理解系统对扰动响应的关键区域。在这里,我们证明了在一个简化的气候系统中,地球完全被海洋覆盖(aquaplanet)的存在多达五个吸引子。这些吸引子的范围从雪球到热状态没有海冰,它们的确切数量取决于耦合的大气-海洋-海冰配置的细节。我们通过描述相关的气候反馈,通过使用主成分分析,并通过测量从动力系统的研究,即瞬时尺寸和持久性借用的量,每个吸引子。

英文摘要:

The first step in exploring the properties of dynamical systems like the Earth climate is to identify the different phase space regions where the trajectories asymptotically evolve, called `attractors'. In a given system, multiple attractors can co-exist under the effect of the same forcing. At the boundaries of their basins of attraction, small changes produce large effects. Therefore, they are key regions for understanding the system response to perturbations. Here we prove the existence of up to five attractors in a simplified climate system where the planet is entirely covered by the ocean (aquaplanet). These attractors range from a snowball to a hot state without sea ice, and their exact number depends on the details of the coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice configuration. We characterise each attractor by describing the associated climate feedbacks, by using the principal component analysis, and by measuring quantities borrowed from the study of dynamical systems, namely instantaneous dimension and persistence.
