Abstract
In a recent paper we formulated a "cause-and-effect analysis' (CEA) technique and applied it to determine the sensitivity of mathematical models of geophysical phenomena. Here we apply the CEA technique to investigate the stability of such mathematical models. The use of the resulting graph analog stability conditions is then illustrated by application to two CP systems, the Chapman photochemical cycle and an energy balance climate model, and to a DP system, a finite-differenced differential equation. The use of CEA stability analysis permits one to visualize and thereby understand the interactions among a system's internal variables. -from Authors
