| Zusammenfassung |
| We construct and analyze a climate network which represents the interdependent structure of
the climate in different geographical zones and find that the network responds in a unique
way to El-Niño events. Analyzing the dynamics of the climate network shows that when
El-Niño events begin, the El-Niño basin partially loses its influence on its surroundings. After
typically three months, this influence is restored while the basin loses almost all dependence
on its surroundings and becomes autonomous. The formation of an autonomous basin is the
missing link to understand the seemingly contradicting phenomena of the afore–noticed
weakening of the interdependencies in the climate network during El-Niño and
the known impact of the anomalies inside the El-Niño basin on the global climate
system.
