Abstract
We provide an overview of numerical bifurcation methods and how they can help one understand the variability of large-scale oceanic and atmospheric ows, as well of the climate system as a whole. As a particular example, we consider the problem of how low-frequency variability of the wind-driven ocean circulation arises due to internal dynamics. The methods are illustrated with the help of a hierarchy of models of so-called double-gyre, wind-driven ows
