| contents | The persistence of the global climate system is critical for assuring the sustainability of the natural ecosystem and the further development of the prosperity of socio-economics. In this paper, we develop a framework and analyze the time persistence of the yearly networks of climate and carbon flux, based on cross-correlations between sites, using daily data from China, the contiguous United States, and the Europe land region during 2000-2019. There are many studies on time persistence of single nodes, e.g., climate variables at a given location, however persistence at a network level has been rarely discussed. Here we develop a framework to study time persistence of network and we apply it to climate and carbon flux. Our framework for determining the persistence is based on analyzing the similarity between the network structures, i.e., the links of climate and carbon flux in different years of systems using the Jaccard index. Our Jaccard results reveal that the similarity of climate and carbon flux networks in different years are within the range of 0.51$\pm$ 0.09 (p-value<0.05), implying that the climate and carbon flux networks studied in the Earth's climate system are generally persistent and in a steady state. Our results suggest that close to 50% of the links appear regularly in different years. We find a very small decay in similarity when the gap between the years increases. However, we observe unique behavior of less similarity to other years in the carbon flux network of the Chinese region during the years 2004-2005 and 2015-2016. This seems to reflect China's carbon reduction policies in these specific years. Analyzing the persistence and evolution of the climate and carbon flux networks, enhance our understanding of the spatial and temporal evolution of the global climate system. |
