The Emergence of El-Niño as an Autonomous Component in the Climate Network
arXiv:1010.2605 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.107.148501
Abstract
We construct and analyze a climate network which represents the interdependent structure of the climate in different geographical zones and find that the network responds in a unique way to El-Niño events. Analyzing the dynamics of the climate network shows that when El-Niño events begin, the El-Niño basin partially loses its influence on its surroundings. After typically three months, this influence is restored while the basin loses almost all dependence on its surroundings and becomes \textit{autonomous}. The formation of an autonomous basin is the missing link to understand the seemingly contradicting phenomena of the afore--noticed weakening of the interdependencies in the climate network during El-Niño and the known impact of the anomalies inside the El-Niño basin on the global climate system.
