Extended Data Fig. 1: The relationship between the autocorrelation and the average length of a warm event.
From: Widespread changes in surface temperature persistence under climate change

The 2d density plot of the lag-one autocorrelation and the average length of warm events calculated as a function of grid box in the CESM1 historical output. Warm events are defined as periods when temperatures exceed one standard deviation. Panels (a-d) show results for four sample ensemble members in the CESM1. Each panel includes results from 55296 grid boxes. Data density is found using a Gaussian kernel density estimate.
