We construct a network from climate records of the atmospheric temperature at the surface level, at different geographical sites in the globe, using reanalysis data from years 1948–2010. We find that the network correlates with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), both locally in the North Atlantic, and through coupling to the Southern Pacific Ocean. The existence of tele-connection links between those areas and their stability over time allows us to suggest a possible physical explanation for this phenomenon.
