All atmospheric phenomena, from daily weather patterns to the global climate system, are invariably influenced by atmospheric flow. Despite its importance, its complex behaviour makes extracting informative features from its dynamics challenging. In this talk, I will present a network-based approach to explore relationships between different flow structures. Using three phenomenon- and model-independent methods, we will investigate coherence patterns, vortical interactions, and Lagrangian coherent structures in an idealised model of the Northern Hemisphere stratospheric polar vortex. I will argue that networks built from fluid data retain essential information about the system's dynamics, allowing us to reveal the underlying interaction patterns straightforwardly and offering a fresh perspective on atmospheric behaviour.
