Abstract

The study of the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems when submitted to different kind of perturbations has been the subject of a very large number of analysis. However, studies on the effect of noise on spatially extended chaotic systems are scarce. In this work we investigate the effects of a time-correlated noise on an extended chaotic system. The chosen model, the so called Lorenz '96, a kind of toy model described by $$x_i(t) = x_i-1 x_i-2 - x_i+1 - x_i + F_i(t),\,\,\,\,\,\, i=1, ..,N$$ is of interest for the analysis of climate behavior. We have assumed that $F_i(t) = F_med + \psi_i (t)$, with $F_med$ a (constant) deterministic, and $\psi_i (t)$ a stochastic contribution. Through the analysis of the system's temporal evolution and its time and space correlations, we have obtained numerical evidence of two stochastic resonance-like behavior. Such a behavior is seen when both, the usual and a generalized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) function, called global SNR, are depicted as a function of the external noise intensity or the system size. The resonances typically occur at frequencies corresponding to system's quasi-periodic orbits. The possible relevance of these and other findings for an optimal climate prediction are discussed.
