| contents | Recent work has highlighted the utility of methods for early warning signal detection in dynamic systems approaching critical tipping thresholds. Often these tipping points resemble local bifurcations, whose low dimensional dynamics can play out on a manifold embedded in a much higher dimensional state space. In many cases of practical relevance, the form of this embedding is poorly understood or entirely unknown. This paper explores how measurement of the critical phenomena that generically precede such bifurcations can be used to make inferences about the properties of their embeddings, and, conversely, how prior knowledge about the mechanism of bifurcation can robustify predictions of an oncoming tipping event. These modes of analysis are first demonstrated on a simple fluid flow system undergoing a Hopf bifurcation. The same approach is then applied to data associated with the West African monsoon shift, with results corroborated by existing models of the same system. This example highlights the effectiveness of the methodology even when applied to complex climate data, and demonstrates how a well-resolved spatial structure associated with the onset of atmospheric instability can be inferred purely from time series measurements. |
