| Zusammenfassung |
| This review is a synthesis of work spanning the last 25 yr.
It is largely based on the use of climate networks to identify
climate subsystems/major modes and to subsequently study how their
collective behavior explains decadal variability. The central point is that
a network of coupled nonlinear subsystems may at times begin to synchronize.
If during synchronization the coupling between the subsystems increases, the
synchronous state may, at some coupling strength threshold, be destroyed
shifting climate to a new regime. This climate shift manifests itself as a
change in global temperature trend. This mechanism, which is consistent with
the theory of synchronized chaos, appears to be a very robust mechanism of
the climate system. It is found in the instrumental records, in forced and
unforced climate simulations, as well as in proxy records spanning several
centuries. |
