Seeking more robust early warning signals for climate tipping points: the Ratio of Spectra method (ROSA)

Abstract: Potential tipping points in the Earth System present challenges for society and ecosystems, especially as the global warming thresholds at which these may be triggered remain uncertain. Fortunately, a theory of `critical slowing down' has been developed which could warn of approaching tipping points. Applications of this theory often implicitly assume stationary white-noise forcing, itself requiring a clean separation between forced trends and variability, which is especially difficult under contemporary clim… Show more

“…However, if we move to the Fourier space we can relax any hypothesis on the nature of the noise as recently introduced by Clarke et al. (2023) with the new method known as ratio of spectra (ROSA) method. Indeed, Equation can be written as i0.3333emω0.3333emx^=λ0.3333emx^+η^ ${-}i\ \omega \ \hat{x}=-\lambda \ \hat{x}+\hat{\eta }$ where true^ $\hat{\cdot }$ stands for Fourier transform.…”

“…By taking the squared modulus we have scriptR(ω)=truex^2trueη^2=1ω2+λ2 $\mathcal{R}(\omega )=\frac{{\hat{x}}^{2}}{{\hat{\eta }}^{2}}=\frac{1}{{\omega }^{2}+{\lambda }^{2}}$ such that by knowing the spectrum of the time series x ( t ) and regardless of the nature of the noise, scriptR(ω) $\mathcal{R}(\omega )$ has a universal character. This has a profound implication for reducing a priori assumptions on the nature of the noise that could lead to misleading results (Clarke et al., 2023). Indeed, usually the noise is thought to be representative of the fast or of the unknown dynamics of a given system and, although a standard Wiener process has been widely employed in literature (Benzi et al., 1982; Boers & Rypdal, 2021; Boers et al., 2022; Consolini & De Michelis, 2003), it cannot always reproduced as a Brownian‐like dynamics as in the case of turbulence (Alberti et al., 2023) or random dynamical systems with pullback attractors (Chekroun et al., 2011; Vannitsem et al., 2021).…”
