Impulse response model

The step-response model in Eq. (8-63) is equivalent to the following impulse response model ... 

The linear impulse-response model has recently been generalized by Hooss et al. (2001) to include some of the dominant non-linearities of the climate system. The net response curves shown in Fig. 5 were computed using this generalized model, showing the impact of nonlinearities in the lower two-panel rows. The princi-... 

FIGURE 5 Net impulse-response functions R. for the atmospheric CO, concentration (left column), the global mean temperature R, (center column), and the amplitude R, of the first EOF of the sea-level rise (right column, proportional to the mean sea-level rise) for different magnitudes of a d-function CO, input at time t = 0. The differences in the responses in the three cases (from top to bottom, 15, too and 30% increase in initial CO, concentration, respectively) arise from nonlinearities in the generalized nonlinear impulse-response model of Hooss ft al.y 2001. (Adopted from this source.)...

In order to separate the available error values from those which are not, the impulse response model of the disturbance transfer function will now be split into two components a term containing all the terms up to, but excluding, the rth impulse term (unavailable future component) and a term containing all the remaining terms (available past component). It can be noted that the last term can be rewritten as a difference between the original disturbance transfer function and the unavailable future component, that is,...

Integer N is selected so that N t > tg, the settling time of the process (see Chapter 5). Note that an equivalent version of Eq. 7-43 can be written with y(k) instead of y k + 1) on the left-hand side (as in Section 7.4) by shifting the index backward one sampling period. A related discrete-time model can be derived from Eq. 7-43 and is called the finite step response model, or just the step response model. To illustrate this relationship, we consider a simple (finite) impulse response model where N = 3. Expanding the summation in Eq. 7-43 gives... 

Similarly, the step response model that corresponds to the full impulse response model in Eq. 7-43 is given by... 

When should a step response or impulse response model be selected First, this type of model is useful when the actual model order or time delay is unknown, because this information is not required for step response models. The model parameters can be calculated directly using linear regression. Second, step or impulse response models are appropriate for processes that exhibit unusual dynamic behavior that cannot be described by standard low-order models. We consider such an example next.
