We study the dynamics of a pair of two uncoupled identical type-I intermittent chaotic systems driven by common random forcing. We first observe that the degree of the fluctuation of the local expansion rate of orbits to perturbations of a single system as a function of the noise intensity shows a convex curve and takes its maximum value at a certain noise intensity, whereas the Liapunov exponent itself monotonically increases in this range. Furthermore, it is numerically demonstrated that this nontrivial enhancement of fluctuation causes that two orbits with different initial conditions may synchronize each other after a finite interval of time. As pointed out by Pikovsky [Phys. Lett. A 165, 33 (1992)], since the Liapunov exponent of the present system is positive, the synchronization that we observed is a numerical artifact due to the finite precision of calculations. The spurious noise-induced synchronization in an ensemble of uncoupled type-I intermittent chaotic systems are numerically characterized and the relations between these features and the fluctuation properties of the local expansion rate are also discussed.
