Zusammenfassung |
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) has been proposed as a method of
calculating the response of the earth's atmosphere to a forcing. For this
problem the high dimensionality of the relevant data sets makes truncation
necessary. Here we propose a method of truncation based upon the assumption
that the response to a localised forcing is spatially localised, as an
alternative to the standard method of choosing a number of the leading
empirical orthogonal functions. For systems where this assumption holds, the
response to any sufficiently small non-localised forcing may be estimated
using a set of truncations that are chosen algorithmically. We test our
algorithm using 36 and 72 variable versions of a stochastic Lorenz 95 system
of ordinary differential equations. We find that, for long integrations, the
bias in the response estimated by the FDT is reduced from ~75% of
the true response to ~30%. |
