The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant driver of interannual global climate variability and can lead to extreme weather events such as droughts or flooding. Recent…
Global Patterns of Extreme Temperature Teleconnections Using Climate Network Analysis
Yuhao Feng, Jun Meng, Jingfang Fan
Extreme weather events, rare yet profoundly impactful, are often accompanied by severe conditions. Increasing global temperatures are poised to exacerbate these events, resulting i…
Unraveling the mystery of tropical monsoon long-term prediction
Guanghao Ran, Jun Meng, Jingfang Fan
Tropical monsoons play a critical role in shaping regional and global climate systems, with profound ecological and socio-economic impacts. However, their long-term prediction rema…
Universal Scaling of Gap Dynamics in Percolation
Sheng Fang, Qing Lin, Jun Meng +4
Percolation is a cornerstone concept in physics, providing crucial insights into critical phenomena and phase transitions. In this study, we adopt a kinetic perspective to reveal t…
Unveiling the Importance of Nonshortest Paths in Quantum Networks
Xinqi Hu, Gaogao Dong, Kim Christensen +7
Quantum networks (QNs) exhibit stronger connectivity than predicted by classical percolation, yet the origin of this phenomenon remains unexplored. We apply a statistical physics m…
Regional Greening as a `Positive' Tipping Phenomenon
Yu Sun, Teng Liu, Shang Wang +9
Earth system tipping elements have been predominantly investigated for their potential to trigger \textit{negative} ecological, climatic, and societal shifts. Yet, an overlooked bu…
Dynamic Arctic weather variability and connectivity
Jun Meng, Jingfang Fan, Uma S Bhatt +1
The rapidly shrinking Arctic sea ice is changing weather patterns and disrupting the balance of nature. Dynamics of Arctic weather variability (WV) plays a crucial role in weather…
Very early warning of a moderate-to-strong El Niño in 2023
J. Ludescher, J. Meng, J. Fan +2
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest driver of year-to-year variations of the global climate and can lead to extreme weather conditions and disasters in various…
Teleconnections among Tipping Elements in the Earth System
Teng Liu, Dean Chen, Lan Yang +10
Tipping elements of the Earth system may shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another at tipping points, resulting in a growing threat to our society. Yet, it is not f…
Emergence of universal scaling in weather extreme events
Qing Yao, Jingfang Fan, Jun Meng +4
The frequency and magnitude of weather extreme events have increased significantly during the past few years in response to anthropogenic climate change. However, global statistica…
Network approach reveals the spatiotemporal influence of traffic to air pollution under the COVID-19
Weiping Wang, Saini Yang, Kai Yin +3
Air pollution causes widespread environmental and health problems and severely hinders the life quality of urban residents. Traffic is a critical for human life and its emissions a…
Emergence of scaling in dockless bike-sharing systems
Ruiqi Li, Ankang Luo, Fan Shang +6
Fundamental laws of human mobility have been extensively studied, yet we are still lacking a comprehensive understanding of the mobility patterns of sharing conveyances. Since trav…
Revealing spatio-temporal interaction patterns behind complex cities
Chenxin Liu, Yu Yang, Bingsheng Chen +4
