Abstract It is shown that the choice of the norm has a great impact on the construction of ensembles of bred vectors. The geometric norm maximizes (in comparison with other norms such as the Euclidean one) the statistical diversity of the ensemble while at the same time it enhances the growth rate of the bred vector and its projection on the linearly most unstable direction (i.e., the Lyapunov vector). The geometric norm is also optimal in providing the least fluctuating ensemble dimension among all the spectrum of norms studied. The results are exemplified with numerical integrations of a toy model of the atmosphere (the Lorenz-96 model), but these findings are expected to be generic for spatially extended chaotic systems.

This paper describes the effects of an asymmetric coupling in the synchronization of two spatially extended systems. Namely, we report the consequences induced by the presence of asymmetries in the coupling configuration of a pair of one-dimensional fields obeying Complex Ginzburg–Landau equations. While synchronization always occurs for large enough coupling strengths, asymmetries have the effect of enhancing synchronization and play a crucial role in setting the threshold for the appearance of the synchronized dynamics, as well as in selecting the statistical and dynamical properties of the synchronized motion. We discuss the process of synchronization in the presence of asymmetries by using some analytic expansions valid for a regime of soft spatial temporal chaos (i.e. phase turbulence regime). The influence of phase singularities that break the validity of the analysis is also discussed.

AbstractThe goal of response theory, in each of its many statistical mechanical formulations, is to predict the perturbed response of a system from the knowledge of the unperturbed state and of the applied perturbation. A new recent angle on the problem focuses on providing a method to perform predictions of the change in one observable of the system using the change in a second observable as a surrogate for the actual forcing. Such a viewpoint tries to address the very relevant problem of causal links within complex system when only incomplete information is available. We present here a method for quantifying and ranking the predictive ability of observables and use it to investigate the response of a paradigmatic spatially extended system, the Lorenz ’96 model. We perturb locally the system and we then study to what extent a given local observable can predict the behaviour of a separate local observable. We show that this approach can reveal insights on the way a signal propagates inside the system. We also show that the procedure becomes more efficient if one considers multiple acting forcings and, correspondingly, multiple observables as predictors of the observable of interest.

Abstract. Prediction of spatio-temporal chaotic systems is important in various fields, such as Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). While data assimilation methods have been applied in NWP, machine learning techniques, such as Reservoir Computing (RC), are recently recognized as promising tools to predict spatio-temporal chaotic systems. However, the sensitivity of the skill of the machine learning based prediction to the imperfectness of observations is unclear. In this study, we evaluate the skill of RC with noisy and sparsely distributed observations. We intensively compare the performances of RC and Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF) by applying them to the prediction of the Lorenz 96 system. Although RC can successfully predict the Lorenz 96 system if the system is perfectly observed, we find that RC is vulnerable to observation sparsity compared with LETKF. To overcome this limitation of RC, we propose to combine LETKF and RC. In our proposed method, the system is predicted by RC that learned the analysis time series estimated by LETKF. Our proposed method can successfully predict the Lorenz 96 system using noisy and sparsely distributed observations. Most importantly, our method can predict better than LETKF when the process-based model is imperfect.
