Abstract

The climate system is a complex, multidimensional multiscale nonlinear system in which different physical processes act on different temporal and spatial scales. The climate networks use the theory of known complex networks to analyse climate system and enable novel insights into trends, patterns and mechanisms of global climate change over a wide range of spatio-temporal scales. Any change in climate system can be detected easily by various network measures (e.g., degree distribution, diameter, clustering and cut sets). In this article, we will briefly review the latest advances on climate networks.
