Randomized trial explores climate system stability under stochastic perturbations, indicating impacts on equilibrium states.

This research aims to understand how stochastic perturbations affect the long-term behavior of the climate system.
Utilized a simple energy-balance equation model to represent mean surface temperature.
Applied stochastic terms to simulate various weather processes not included in deterministic feedback.
Analyzed the time spent near stable equilibria using probability density distribution methods.
Identified characteristic times for climate equilibrium shifts based on feedback and perturbing process characteristics.
Estimated realistic values for time spent in equilibrium states, supporting model accuracy.
Discussed analogies between stochastically perturbed systems and quantum dynamics.

Alfonso Sutera (1981) studied this question.
