Abstract

Ocean currents exhibit strong time dependence at all scales that influences physical and biochemical dynamics. Network approaches to fluid transport permit to address explicitly how connectivity across the seascape is affected by the spatiotemporal variability of currents. However, such temporal aspect is mostly neglected, relying on a static representation of the flow. We here investigate the role of current variability on networks describing physical transport across the Mediterranean basin. We first focus on degree distributions and community structure comparing ensembles of temporal networks that explicitly resolve time dependence and their aggregated, i.e., time-averaged, counterparts. Furthermore, we explore the implications of the two approaches in a simple reaction dispersal model for a generic tracer. Our analysis evidences that aggregation induces structural network changes that cannot be easily avoided, not even introducing a pruning of the aggregated adjacency matrix. We also highlight that, depending on the time scales considered, the importance of the temporal features of the networks can vary significantly. Finally, we find that the tracer evolution obtained from a temporal dispersal kernel cannot be always approximated by aggregated adjacency matrices, in particular during transients of the dynamics.

比较地中海流体输送的时间和聚集网络描述。
洋流在所有尺度上都表现出强烈的时间依赖性,影响物理和生化动力学。流体运输的网络方法允许明确地解决整个海景的连通性如何受到洋流时空变化的影响。然而,这种时间方面大多被忽略,依赖于流的静态表示。我们在此研究当前变率在描述地中海盆地物理运输的网络中的作用。我们首先关注程度分布和群落结构,比较明确解决时间依赖性的时间网络及其聚合(即时间平均)对应物的集合。此外,我们探讨了这两种方法的含义在一个简单的反应扩散模型的通用示踪剂。我们的分析表明,即使不引入聚合邻接矩阵的剪枝,聚合也会引起结构网络的变化,这种变化是无法轻易避免的。我们还强调,根据所考虑的时间尺度,网络的时间特征的重要性可以显着变化。最后,我们发现从时间扩散核得到的示踪演化不能总是用聚合邻接矩阵来近似,特别是在动态的瞬态期间。
