Rough parameter dependence in climate models and the role of Ruelle-Pollicott resonances.

چکیده
Despite the importance of uncertainties encountered in climate model simulations, the fundamental mechanisms at the origin of sensitive behavior of long-term model statistics remain unclear. Variability of turbulent flows in the atmosphere and oceans exhibits recurrent large-scale patterns. These patterns, while evolving irregularly in time, manifest characteristic frequencies across a large range of time scales, from intraseasonal through interdecadal. Based on modern spectral theory of chaotic and dissipative dynamical systems, the associated low-frequency variability may be formulated in terms of Ruelle-Pollicott (RP) resonances. RP resonances encode information on the nonlinear dynamics of the system, and an approach for estimating them--as filtered through an observable of the system--is proposed. This approach relies on an appropriate Markov representation of the dynamics associated with a given observable. It is shown that, within this representation, the spectral gap--defined as the distance between the subdominant RP resonance and the unit circle--plays a major role in the roughness of parameter dependences. The model statistics are the most sensitive for the smallest spectral gaps; such small gaps turn out to correspond to regimes where the low-frequency variability is more pronounced, whereas autocorrelations decay more slowly. The present approach is applied to analyze the rough parameter dependence encountered in key statistics of an El-Niño-Southern Oscillation model of intermediate complexity. Theoretical arguments, however, strongly suggest that such links between model sensitivity and the decay of correlation properties are not limited to this particular model and could hold much more generally.

Parametric dependence of the Pollicott-Ruelle resonances for sawtooth maps.
The Pollicott-Ruelle resonances for the sawtooth map are investigated. We turn our attention to the parametric dependence of them with respect to the bifurcation parameter K. It is numerically shown that the resonances move in an erratic way if the bifurcation parameter K is supposed to be time. At certain rational values of K, it is observed that some resonances shrink to z=0. In particular, a...
متن کاملQuantization of Classical Maps with tailormade Ruelle-Pollicott Resonances
We investigate the correspondence between the decay of correlation in classical system, governed by Ruelle–Pollicott resonances, and the properties of the corresponding quantum system. For this purpose we construct classical systems with controllable resonances together with their quantum counterpart. As an application of such tailormade resonances we reveal the role of Ruelle–Pollicott resonan...

متن کاملLeading Pollicott-Ruelle resonances for chaotic area-preserving maps.
Recent investigations in nonlinear sciences show that not only hyperbolic but also mixed dynamical systems may exhibit exponential relaxation in the chaotic regime. The relaxation rates, which lead the decay of probability distributions and correlation functions, are related to the classical evolution resolvent (Perron-Frobenius operator) pole logarithm, the so-called Pollicott-Ruelle resonance...
