One useful way of classifying tipping elements is in terms of the time, T, over which a qualitative change is observed: (i) rapid, abrupt, or spasmodic tipping occurs if the observation time is very small compared with TP (but T ≠ 0); (ii) gradual or episodic tipping occurs if the observation time is intermediate (e.g., of order TP); and (iii) slow or asymptotic tipping occurs if the observation time is very long (in particular, T → TE).
