The adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist are less
abrupt than systems I've tested in the past.

As these
systems go, the X5's allows a little more slippage, which I appreciate, and is far less noticeable
than many
systems when it does activate — less
abrupt and relatively quiet.
It turned out things were far more nuanced (as he later said, «The Earth
system may be less responsive in the warm times
than it was in the cold times»), but in a field that had long mainly foreseen smooth curves for planetary change with rising greenhouse gas levels, the result was a vital focus on the risks of
abrupt climate change.
The dynamical
system description of climate with potential
abrupt changes etc etc makes more sense
than any other description of climate Ive run acrosst.
«The Earth's climate
system is highly nonlinear: inputs and outputs are not proportional, change is often episodic and
abrupt, rather
than slow and gradual,... It is imperative that the Earth's climate

abrupt, rather

Previous reviews (6 ⇓ ⇓ ⇓ — 10) have defined «
abrupt climate change» as occurring «when the climate
system is forced to cross some threshold, triggering a transition to a new state at a rate determined by the climate
system itself and faster
than the cause» (8), which is a case of bifurcation (i.e., one that focuses on equilibrium properties, implying some degree of irreversibility).
Technically, an
abrupt climate change occurs when the climate
system is forced to cross some threshold, triggering a transition to a new state at a rate determined by the climate
system itself and faster
than the cause.
If it turned out that rapid climate change events are caused by comets, it would imply the climate
system is far more stable
than we thought, that
abrupt climate change events are not part of the inherent variability of climate during glacial periods.
In all of these connections, effects can be positive as well as negative; but extreme climate events and other
abrupt changes tend to affect human
systems more severely
than gradual change, because they offer less time for adaptation, although gradual changes may also reach thresholds at which effects are notable.
