Python scripts for studying dynamics of interacting tipping elements

Authored by Ann Kristin Klose, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, 2018-2020.

These python scripts have been used to produce the analysis and figures presented in the following publication:

• A.K. Klose, V. Karle, R. Winkelmann, J.F. Donges, Dynamic emergence of domino effects in systems of interacting tipping elements in ecology and climate, in review (2020), preprint arXiv:1910.12042 [physics.geo-ph].

More detailed information on the scripts:

1. StabilityMap_n2.py generates the stability maps in Fig. 4/5/6 of the main manuscript and in Fig. 1 of the Supplementary Material (with adjustments of parameter settings as indicated in the script).
2. StabilityMap_n3.py generates the stability maps in Fig. 7 of the main manuscript and in Fig. 2/3 of the Supplementary Material (with adjustments of parameter settings as indicated in the script).
3. LegendStabilityMap.py generates the colobars for the stability maps described above.
4. PhasePortrait_n3.py generates Fig. 8 of the main manuscript and Fig. 4/5 of the Supplementary Material (with adjustments of parameter settings as indicated in the script).
5. fold.py generates elements of Fig. 1 of the main manuscript and is used for the illustration of the tipping rules in Fig. 2/3 of the main manuscript.
