Random climate networks and entropy

Any edge in random climate networks appears with some probability, which is determined by the entropy of climate system. Since a large part of climatic variabilities are known to have a random nature, random climate network is becoming a powerful, but only marginally explored at present, tool to quantify uncertainties of climate parameters, analyze strength and range of teleconnections, and examine structure sensitivity of climate system. The climate system has been found to possess key features of small-world networks due to relatively few edges connecting geographically very distant vertices that can stabilize the climate system, and enhance the information transfer significantly within it.
