Singular vectors, predictability and ensemble forecasting for weather and climate

The local instabilities of a nonlinear dynamical system can be characterized by the leading singular vectors of its linearized operator. The leading singular vectors are perturbations with the greatest linear growth and are therefore key in assessing the system's predictability. In this paper,...
