•Breeding is a simple, finite-time, finite-amplitude generalization of
Lyapunov vectors: just run the model twice…
•The only free parameters are the amplitude
and frequency of
renormalization (does not depend on the norm)
•Breeding on the Lorenz (1963) model yields
very robust prediction rules
for regime change and duration
•In coupled models, it is possible to
isolate the fast and the
slow modes by a physically based choice of the amplitude and frequency of the
normalization.
