Transitions between metastable states in a simplified model for the thermohaline circulation under random fluctuations

Abstract: In this work we study the impact of non-Gaussian α-stable Lévy motion on transitions between metastable equilibrium states (or attractors) in a stochastic Stommel two-box model for thermohaline circulation (THC). By maximizing probability density of the solution process associated with a nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation, we compute maximal likely pathways and identify corresponding maximal likely stable equilibrium states. Our numerical results indicate weakened THC may be induced by perturbation with very smal… Show more

“…Subsequently, Zheng et al [38] developed a probabilistic framework to investigate the maximum likelihood climate change for an energy balance system under the combined influence of greenhouse effect and α-stable Lévy motions. Additionally, there are also some researchers using the Lévy motion to characterize the random fluctuations emerged in neural systems [28], gene networks [6], epidemic model [21], and the Earth systems [2,20,33,34,37].…”

“…In the natural world, there are different types of random noises, such as the well-known white noise, the Lévy jump noise which considers the motivation that the continuity of solutions may be inevitably under severe environmental perturbations, such as earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, SARS, influenza [21][22][23], and a jump process should be introduced to prevent and control diseases, and so on. Mathematically, several authors [24][25][26][27] used the Lévy process to describe the phenomena that cause a big jump to occur occasionally.…”
