Longitudinal Cor-Cor Analysis

Longitudinal Cor-Cor Analysis

To identify areas around the globe undergoing rapid environmental change, Correlation of Correlations (Cor-Cor), a novel strategy to measure changes in each geolocation’s relationship to all other locations, is applied to series’ of 10-year climatype networks where each network contains approximately 150,000 coordinates. Cor-Cor is applied to the series of 2-way climatype networks in (a) […]

Climatype Markov Clustering

Climatype Markov Clustering

To identify high-resolution climate zones, Markov Clustering (MCL), an unsupervised graph clustering algorithm, is applied to agglomerative 60-year climatype networks with more than 500,000 coordinates around the globe. Since nodes in a climatype network represent geolocations and edges represent environmental similarity, the clusters derived from MCL highlight areas around the globe that share similar climatic […]
