Abstract
In this paper, we study new stochastic phenomena of the extended Lorenz model of general circulation of the atmosphere. We observe the possibility of stochastic patterns and system transitions between various modes of atmospheric circulations in cases of deterministic and stochastic dynamics. We show that the bifurcation diagram of the deterministic model contains the the stable equilibrium as well as “weak” and “strong” cycles possessing small, large and mixed oscillations between atmospheric attractors. As this takes place, a tristability mode where the equilibrium coexists with two “weak” cycles, and four-stable mode where the equilibrium and three cycles coexist are possible to occur. Also, we reveal a noise-induced excitement of large-amplitude spike fluctuations, where small-amplitude oscillations near the equilibrium point alternate with large-amplitude spikes. In addition, we observe the transition from order to chaos connected with the noise-induced transition from regular attractors to large-amplitude spike oscillations. The effects of coherence resonance and noise-induced stabilization near the equilibrium point are also revealed by studying the statistics of noise-generated oscillations.
