Percolation Phase Transition of Surface Air Temperature Networks: A new test bed for El Niño/La Niña simulations

Abstract In this work, we studied the air-sea interaction over the tropical central eastern Pacific from a new perspective, climate network. The surface air temperatures over the tropical Pacific were constructed as a network, and the nodes within this network were linked if they have a similar temp...
