Numerical bifurcation methods applied to climate models: analysis beyond simulation

<p>In this special issue contribution, I provide a personal view on the role of bifurcation analysis of climate models in the development of a theory of climate system variability. The state of the art of the methodology is shortly outlined, and the main part of the paper deals with...
