Dynamical Systems and Reservoir Computing - Lecture 1

Learn about dynamical systems and reservoir computing in this opening lecture from a discussion meeting on Climate Dynamics and Networks. Explore fundamental concepts in climate data analysis through network paradigms and characterization methods. Gain insights into climate system analysis and prediction techniques, including bifurcation behavior, network characterizers, and percolation-based measures. Examine practical applications to phenomena like El Niño, La Niña, Indian monsoon, and tropical cyclones, while understanding their connections to broader climate change implications. Part of a comprehensive program designed for researchers and PhD students interested in climate dynamics, featuring pedagogical modules and interactive discussions led by experts in the field.
