A Deep Echo State Neural Network is used to predict total intensity at a detector, standard deviation of intensity over the area of a detector, and center-of-intensity for a deep turbulence example. A short description of the reason for choosing a Deep Echo State Network, as well as a full description of the network optimization and an example using 30 seconds of data is given. Specifically, indications are that this type of network can handle the nonstationary and nonlinear aspects of laser propagation through long distance deep atmospheric turbulence. The network shows a remarkable ability to predict future signals. At this time, more work needs to be done on optimizing the network to achieve even better results.
