ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Bo-Wen Shen was published in an early online version of the AMS Journal of Atmospheric Sciences. Shen’s paper is entitled, “Nonlinear Feedback in a Five-dimensional Lorenz Model.”
In the study, the original 3-dimensional Lorenz Model (3DLM) is generalized with two additional modes (5DLM) to examine their role in the predictability of the numerical solutions and to understand the underlying processes that increase the solution stability.
