چکیده

We propose a method to reconstruct and analyse an evolving complex network from data generated by a spatio-temporal dynamical system. We study reanalysis surface air temperature data by different complex network measures. This approach reveals a rich internal structure in complex climate networks and allows to study the stability of the climate network and the impacts of teleconnections (e.g., El Niño/ Southern Oscillation). Moreover, the betweenness analyis uncovers peculiar wave-like structures of high information flow, that can be related to global surface ocean currents.

Regional and inter-regional effects in evolving climate networks

Complicated systems composed of many interacting subsystems are frequently studied as complex networks. In the simplest approach, a given real-world system is represented by an undirected graph composed of nodes standing for the subsystems and non-oriented unweighted edges for interactions present among the nodes; the characteristic properties of the graph are subsequently studied and related t...

Disentangling different types of El Niño episodes by evolving climate network analysis.

Complex network theory provides a powerful toolbox for studying the structure of statistical interrelationships between multiple time series in various scientific disciplines. In this work, we apply the recently proposed climate network approach for characterizing the evolving correlation structure of the Earth's climate system based on reanalysis data for surface air temperatures. We provide a...

Uncertainty Propagation in Long-Term Structured Regression on Evolving Networks

In long-term forecasting it is important to estimate the confidence of predictions, as they are often affected by errors that are accumulated over the prediction horizon. To address this problem, an effective novel iterative method is developed for Gaussian structured learning models in this study for propagating uncertainty in temporal graphs by modeling noisy inputs. The proposed method is ap...

Characterizing the evolution of climate networks

Complex network theory has been successfully applied to understand the structural and functional topology of many dynamical systems from nature, society and technology. Many properties of these systems change over time, and, consequently, networks reconstructed from them will, too. However, although static and temporally changing networks have been studied extensively, methods to quantify their...
