Response and Sensitivity Using Markov Chains
Dynamical systems are often subject to forcing or changes in their governing parameters and it is of interest to study how this affects their statistical properties. A prominent real-life example of…
Response Formulae for $n$-point Correlations in Statistical Mechanical Systems and Application to a Problem of Coarse Graining
Predicting the response of a system to perturbations is a key challenge in mathematical and natural sciences. Under suitable conditions on the nature of the system, of the perturbation, and of the…
Dynamical analysis of blocking events: spatial and temporal fluctuations of covariant Lyapunov vectors
One of the most relevant weather regimes in the midlatitude atmosphere is the persistent deviation from the approximately zonally symmetric jet stream leading to the emergence of so‐called blocking…
Resonances in a Chaotic Attractor Crisis of the Lorenz Flow
Local bifurcations of stationary points and limit cycles have successfully been characterized in terms of the critical exponents of these solutions. Lyapunov exponents and their associated covariant…
Understanding and Predicting Nonlinear Turbulent Dynamical Systems with Information Theory
TLDR
A new efficient method is developed to improve the computation of the linear response via the Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem (FDT), which makes use of a Gaussian Mixture to describe the unperturbed probability density function in high dimensions and avoids utilizing Gaussian approximations in computing the statistical response.
Edge States in the Climate System: Exploring Global Instabilities and Critical Transitions
Multistability is a ubiquitous feature in systems of geophysical relevance and provides key challenges for our ability to predict a system's response to perturbations. Near critical transitions small…
Decomposing the dynamics of the Lorenz 1963 model using unstable periodic orbits: Averages, transitions, and quasi-invariant sets.
Unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) are a valuable tool for studying chaotic dynamical systems, as they allow one to distill their dynamical structure. We consider here the Lorenz 1963 model with the…
Decomposing the Dynamics of the Lorenz 1963 model using Unstable Periodic Orbits : Averages , Transitions , and Quasi-Periodic Sets
Unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) are a valuable tool for studying chaotic dynamical systems. They allow one to extract information from a system and to distill its dynamical structure. We consider…
Neutral modes of surface temperature and the optimal ocean thermal forcing for global cooling
Inquiry into the climate response to external forcing perturbations has been the central interest of climate dynamics. But the understanding of two important aspects of climate change…

TLDR
The rigid separation between forcing and response is broken, which is key in linear response theory, and the concept of causality is revisited, finding that not all observables are equally good as predictors when a given forcing is applied.

A statistical mechanical approach for the computation of the climatic response to general forcings
TLDR
This paper shows for the first time how the Ruelle linear response theory, developed for studying rigorously the impact of perturbations on general observables of non-equilibrium statistical mechanical systems, can be applied with great success to analyze the climatic response to general forcings.
Covariant Lyapunov vectors of a quasi‐geostrophic baroclinic model: analysis of instabilities and feedbacks
The classical approach for studying atmospheric variability is based on defining a background state and studying the linear stability of the small fluctuations around such a state. Weakly nonlinear…

Using the formalism of the Ruelle response theory, we study how the invariant measure of an Axiom A dynamical system changes as a result of adding noise, and describe how the stochastic perturbation…

TLDR
This study will try to apply the idea of UPO expansion to the simple atmospheric system based on the barotropic vorticity equation of the sphere to check how well orbits approximate the system attractor, its statistical characteristics and PDF.
