Main publication details
MARC recordThe delicacy of the oceanic thermohaline circulation / James C. McWilliams.
| Title: | The delicacy of the oceanic thermohaline circulation / James C. McWilliams. |
| Author(s): | McWilliams, James C. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| Publisher: | Berlin: Springer |
| In: | Ice in the climate system. (1993.), |
| Abstract: | By "delicacy" is meant capacity for small changes in external conditions to cause large changes in response. In addition, there may be other aspects of delicacy about which very little is known yet: feedbacks between forcing and response (climate system dynamics) and internal variability arising from nonlinear dynamics of thermohaline circulation (its chaos) |
| Notes: | In: Ice in the climate system / W. Richard Peltier, ed. |
