Complex Network Approach to Climate
System Earth
Network Reconstruction from a continuous dynamic system (structure vs. functionality) New (inverse) problems arise! Is there a backbone underlying the climate system?
Basic Idea: Use of rich instrumentarium of complex network (graph) theory for system Earth and sustainability Hope: Deepened understanding of system Earth (with other techniques NOT possible)
Climate Networks Observation sites Earth system Climate network Network analysis Time series
Infer long-range connections – Teleconnections

Artifacts and Interpretation of (Climate) Network Approach
Reconstructing causality from data ? Artefacts due to - Common drivers - Indirect links Achievements 1. Causal algorithm to efficiently detect linear and nonlinear links (Phys. Rev. Lett. 2012) 2. Quantifying causal strength with Momentary Information Transfer (Phys. Rev. E 2012) 3. Reconstructing Walker Circulation from data (J. Climate 2014, ) 28
Reconstructing causality from data Classic techniques Correlation/regression Advanced method conditional independencies
Identifying causal gateways and mediators in complex spatio-temporal systems • Step 1: Dimension reduction via VARIMAX (principal components, rotation, significance) • Step 2: Causal reconstruction: identify causalities based on conditional dependencies (different time lags) • Step 3: Causal interaction quantification: identify strongest paths • Step 4: Hypothesis testing of causal mechanisms Nature Commun, 6, 8502 (2015)
Atmospheric data • • • Reanalysis data – NCEP/NCAR (Boulder) surface pressure 1948 – 2012 Spatial resolution: 2. 5º → 10, 512 grid points Weekly data: each node time series of 3, 339 points
60 strongest VARIMAX components refer to main climatic patterns • ENSO: “ 0” – western uplift, “ 1” – eastern downdraft limbs • Monsoon: “ 33” Arabian Sea high-surface-pressure sector, “ 26” tropical Atlantic West African Monsoon system
Identification of causal pathways Effects of sea level pressure anomalies in ENSO region to pressure variability in the Arabic Sea via the Indonesian Archipelago
Extreme Events Strong Rainfall during Monsoon Challenge: Predictability
Motivation: the predictability of the Indian monsoon remains a problem of vital importance Objectives: to reveal spatial structures in network of extreme events over the Indian subcontinent and their seasonal evolution during the year.
New Technique: Event Synchronization
2. Event synchronization 1. Network approach Nodes: geographical locations Links: synchronization of extreme rainfall events between nodes Step 1. Apply a threashold to time series of each grid point to obtain event series Rainfall amount (mm/day) METHOD Time (days) Step 2. Event synchronization – use time lags to compare individual events between two grid points Step 3. Construct the network by creating links between points with the highest synchronization values Network measures degree Average link lengths betweenness Network Quiroga et. al. 2002 422011 Malik et. al. Boers et. al. 2013
Extreme Rainfall Events of the South American Monsoon System • • TRMM 3 B 42 V 7 daily satellite data Measured: Jan 1, 1998 – March 31, 2012 Spatial resolution: 0. 25 x 0. 25 Spatial coverage: Method: event synchronization Extreme event: > 99 % percentile Dec-Feb (DJF) – summer monsoon months
(a) Topography and simplied SAMS mechanisms. (b) 99 th percentile of hourly rainfall during DJF derived from TRMM 3 B 42 V 7. (c) Fraction of total DJF rainfall accounted for by events above the 99 th percentile. (d) Rainfall time series of concatenated DJF seasons and the corresponding 99 th percentile for a grid cell located at the ECA at 17 S and 66 W.
Non-symmetric Adjacency Matrix (in – out) > 0 – sink: extreme events here preceded by those at another location < 0 – source: extreme events follow at another location
SESA – Southeast South America ECA – Eastern Central Andes
• > 60 % (90 % during El Nino conditions) of extreme rainfall events in Eastern Central Andes (ECA) are preceded by those in Southeastern South America (SESA) • Low pressure anomaly from Rossbywave activity propagates northwards (cold front) and low-level wind channel from Amazon Nature Commun. (2014), GRL (2014), J. Clim. (2014), Clim. Dyn. (2015)
Model comparison via networks • TRMM data, ECHAM 6 (Global circulation model), ECMWF (Re-Analysis), ETA (regional climate model) • → Strong differences found • ECHAM 6 closest to data Clim. Dyn. 2015
Indian Monsoon

Spatial patterns of extreme rainfall: APHRODITE Common network measures for three time periods: pre-monsoon (MAM), Summer (ISM) and Winter monsoon (WM). Links between a set of 45 reference grid points to other grid points and Surface Vector Winds mean 1998 -2012. From top to bottom: North Pakistan Nonlin.

Spatial patterns of extreme rainfall q Network approach allows to reveal spatial structures of extreme rainfall synchronization. q Identified essential spatial domains (North Pakistan, Eastern Ghats and Tibetan Plateau) for the synchronization of extreme rainfall during the Indian Summer Monsoon which appear during the pre-monsoon season, evolve during ISM and disappear during the postmonsoon season. q Findings open possibility to account spatial distribution of essential patterns in determining the ISM timing and strength by observation of rainfall variability within dominant patterns.
