A tutorial is provided on the application of dynamical systems theory to problems in climate dynamics. We start with the analysis of low-dimensional deterministic dynamical systems using bifurcation theory and provide examples in conceptual climate models.We then proceed to stochastic low-dimensional systems and eventually end with operator-based techniques within ergodic theory. In these notes, we start each section from a climate dynamics problem, motivate the choice of the model to study it, and use dynamical systems analysis to understand the behavior of the model solutions. In each of the chapters, a different phenomenon, a different type of model, and/or a different dynamical system tool will be presented. |
