Abstract

The complex network is a method with a high flexibility and easy application. Complex Network allows extracting relevant information from the system, like its organization and dynamics, as well as different indices that allow obtaining particular characteristics. This work studies the communities present on the rain network in the Amazon basin for the austral summer. Summer was used due to the presence of the South American monsoon system (SAMS), since this is the greatest mechanism for modulating precipitation over South America. Once the communities were obtained, the minimum correlation value (MCV) was varied in order to verify the spatial variations of the communities. Where it was verified how certain communities are composed of subcommunities while others simply disappear. Finally, it is shown how the spatial distribution of the subcommunities shows a relationship with the presence of SAMS. However, more detailed analyzes are needed for each of these communities.
