Abstract

During the workshop on Climate Modeling in Nonsmooth Systems, one of the major discussions involved investigating including more realistic elements, such as fluctuations and time variation, in nonsmooth models that undergo a sudden transition, with an emphasis on conceptual climate models. A number of models were discussed, including the Stommel 1961 model, the Paillard 1997 model, the Eisenman–Wettlaufer 2009 model, and the Hogg 2008 model.
