lorenz96_ode, a C++ code which sets up and solves a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) devised by Edward Lorenz, as a test of predictability for data assimilation applications.
The Lorenz system involves N => 4 differential equations of the identical form:
dy(i)/dt = ( y(i+1) - y(i-2) ) * y(i-1) - y(i) + force
where force is a constant independent of i and the indices wrap around.
A typical value for force is 8. In a typical initial condition, all entries of y are set to force plus a random value with mean 0 and variance 0.001.
