• Abstract summary: Reservoir computer (RC) is a type of recurrent neural network that has demonstrated success in prediction architecture of intrinsicly chaotic dynamical systems. We explore the architecture and design choices for a "best in class" RC for a number of characteristic dynamical systems.

• Abstract: A reservoir computer (RC) is a type of simplified recurrent neural network architecture that has demonstrated success in the prediction of spatiotemporally chaotic dynamical systems. A further advantage of RC is that it reproduces intrinsic dynamical quantities essential for its incorporation into numerical forecasting routines such as the ensemble Kalman filter -- used in numerical weather prediction to compensate for sparse and noisy data. We explore here the architecture and design choices for a "best in class" RC for a number of characteristic dynamical systems, and then show the application of these choices in scaling up to larger models using localization. Our analysis points to the importance of large scale parameter optimization. We also note in particular the importance of including input bias in the RC design, which has a significant impact on the forecast skill of the trained RC model. In our tests, the the use of a nonlinear readout operator does not affect the forecast time or the stability of the forecast. The effects of the reservoir dimension, spinup time, amount of training data, normalization, noise, and the RC time step are also investigated. While we are not aware of a generally accepted best reported mean forecast time for different models in the literature, we report over a factor of 2 increase in the mean forecast time compared to the best performing RC model of Vlachas et.al (2020) for the 40 dimensional spatiotemporally chaotic Lorenz 1996 dynamics, and we are able to accomplish this using a smaller reservoir size.

  Recent has shown that machine learning (ML) models can be trained to accurately forecast the dynamics of chaotic dynamical systems. In the absence of mitigating techniques, this technique can result in artificially rapid error growth, leading to inaccurate predictions and/or climate instability. We introduce Linearized Multi-Noise Training (LMNT), a regularization technique that deterministically approximates the effect of many small, independent noise realizations added to the model input during training.

  Reservoir Computing is a simple and efficient framework for forecasting the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems from data. We focus on the important problem of basin prediction -- determining which attractor a system will converge to from its initial conditions. By incorporating the exact nonlinearities in the original equations, we show that NGRC can accurately reconstruct intricate and high-dimensional basins of attraction.
