The effect of fluctuations on a simple energy balance model is examined. A new, long characteristic time scale referring to the passage between different stable climatic states is identified. It is shown that a weak external forcing whose period is comparable to this scale enables the system to swit

## Abstract A very simple energyβbalance equation for the mean surface temperature of the planet (Budykoβtype model) is perturbed by a stochastic term, simulating the numerous βweatherβ processes not considered in the deterministic feedβback term. In the first instance, a symmetrical deterministic
## Abstract Climate variability over Senegal (West Africa) and its relationship to global climate are examined for the period 1979β1998. Monthly observed rainfall for 20 stations and monthly CPC merged analysis precipitation (CMAP) over Senegal were averaged for the months of June, July, August, an
