Predictability in a solvable stochastic climate model. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present a simple Budyko-Sellers type climate model which is forced by a heating term whose time dependence is white noise and whose space-separated autocorrelation is independent of position and orientation on the sphere (statistical homogeneity). Such models with diffusive transport are analytically soluble by expansion into spherical harmonics. -from Authors
