  1. EGU: 25Apr2012, Wed Structural Interrelationships of the Evaporation-Precipitation Satellite-based Fields: Application of the Complex NetworksBy Irina Petrova 1,2*Alexander Löw 1, Christian Klepp 1,2 1 Max-Planck Institute for Meteorology, MPI, www.mpimet.mpg.de 2 Meteorological Institute, KlimaCampus, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany * Irina.Petrova@zmaw.de

  2. Goals and Objectives: • Analyze topology of the single/ coupled precipitation • and evaporation networks • 2.Investigate the prominent global teleconnection patterns in the constructed networks • 3. Identify physical properties within the Climate Networks fields 2 d(2,3) 3 1 d(1,3)

  3. Datasets and Experimental Setup: Datasets used:: HOAPS: Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and fluxes from Satellite data [http//:www.hoaps.org] GPCC: The Global Precipitation Climatology Center [http//:www.gpcc.dwd.de] HOAPS (satellite, ocean) 1987-2005 HOAPS-3 (ocean) GPCC (gauge, land) Evaporation • T63 (1.8) • Monthly • 1992-2005 • 7968 vertices Precipitation • T63 (1.8) • Monthly • 1992-2005 • 13834 vertices 1

  4. Datasets and Experimental Setup: Datasets used:: HOAPS: Hamburg Ocean Atmosphere Parameters and fluxes from Satellite data [http//:www.hoaps.org] GPCC: The Global Precipitation Climatology Center [http//:www.gpcc.dwd.de] HOAPS (satellite, ocean) 1987-2005 HOAPS-3 (ocean) GPCC (gauge, land) Evaporation • T63 (1.8) • Monthly • 1992-2005 • 7968 vertices Precipitation • T63 (1.8) • Monthly • 1992-2005 • 13834 vertices 1

  5. CCN Construction: Model used:: PYCLIMATENETWORK:[J.F Donges et al. 2009] Single/ Coupled Evap-Precip Networks: • Similarity Criteria: • - Pearson correlation (zero lag) • - Spearman rank (zero lag) • Threshold: 99,9% significance level (t-test)

  6. Teleconnection Patterns: ENSO Degree Centrality field of the Precipitation Network Source - point Correlation values of the ICTZ location neighbours within the Precipitation Network

  7. Teleconnection Patterns: NAO+ and NAO- Degree centrality of the precipitation network [Dec-Mar]Thrsh=0.43 Correlation of monthly mean Dec-Mar precipitation with the station-based NAO index [Andersson et al. 2010]

  8. Teleconnection Patterns: NAO+ and NAO- Positive Correlations within the precipitation network [Dec-Mar] of the neighbours at two locations: Bergen (Norway) and Gibraltar Correlation of monthly mean Dec-Mar precipitation with the station-based NAO index [Andersson et al. 2010]

  9. Coupled EVAP-PRECIP Fields: Evaporation Precipitation 1 Cross Degree Centralities of coupled Precipitation-Evaporation Networks (thresh. = 0,25)

  10. Downstream Source Feature: Precipitation field: Receiver - point 1 Correlation Values of the Precipitation Neighbours Within the Evaporation Field and Cross-Degree Centrality (background filed) (Thrsh=0,25)

  11. Outlook: Conclusions and Expectations • 1. Evap-Precip Network structure resembles major teleconnection patterns • 2. High DC coupled evap-precip fields reveal spatial source-receptor feature • 3. Statistical analysis operation V.S. CCN physical features • (Surrogate data, Transfer Entropy) • 4. Comparison/ validation of the CMIP5 ESM-MPI using HOAPS dataset 2 d(2,3) 3 1 d(1,3)
