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.
