Editor's Notes
Complex systems are systems which collective behavior is not easily determined by its components (Benuwa et al., 2016; Kim and Wilhelm, 2008).
In order to explore the underlying network structures and dynamic of such systems, researchers started to use a common set of mathematical tools (e.g. graph theory, statistics) to understand its properties and behavior which was called later on as network science. The success of network science is based on the technological advances that allows manage huge amounts of information and the common organizing principles behind networks that admit a common framework to analyze them (Barabási, 2016).
As the neural brain network, transportation systems, or social networks, the complex climate system has also been studied to characterize its structure and understand its dynamics by means of network science with the so called climate networks (Tsonis, 2004; Tsonis et al., 2006; Tsonis and Roebber, 2004).

A climate network is an abstraction of the climate system as a set of nodes that can represent observations (or model results) of a given climate variable around the globe and allows to identify dependence among those nodes which in turn are tied to the characteristics of main components of the system (Donges et al., 2015).
