Since our pioneering publication of the Factor Separation Methodology (Stein and Alpert, 1993), many different applications were applied as summarized by Alpert and Sholokhman (2011). Here, I wish to present several applications for climate and weather studies with focus on the central role of synergies or interactions among different factors as revealed by this methodology. Evidence for the importance of climate synergies from the leaf cell up to global scale will be presented (Alpert et al. 2006). In addition, similarities with other disciplines like medicine in which synergies play a major role. For instance, interactions among different medications and how they are being treated in medicine.
