Detecting how changes in one spot on Earth — in temperature, rain, wind — are linked to changes in another, far away area is key to assessing climate risks. Scientists have now developed a new technique of finding out if one change can cause another change or not, and which regions are important gateways for such teleconnections. The method can be applied to assess global effects of local extreme weather events, but also to the diffusion of disturbances in financial markets, or the human brain.
