KNMI – Synchronizing Numerical Models of the Atmosphere to Improve Weather and Climate Predictions

02-03-2016 - Systems as diverse as clocks, singing crickets, cardiac pacemakers, firing neurons and applauding audiences exhibit a tendency to operate in synchrony. The phenomenon that dynamical systems synchronise their behaviour by some form of information exchange is known as synchronisation. In recent years, the concept of synchronisation is being applied in weather and climate research. Observed
