Stochastic resonance in climatic change

Authors:

Abstract

An amplification of random perturbations by the interaction of non-linearities internal to the climatic system with external, orbital forcing is found. This stochastic resonance is investigated in a highly simplified, zero-dimensional climate model. It is conceivable that this new type of resonance might play a role in explaining the 105 year peak in the power spectra of paleoclimatic records.
