Extended Data Fig. 2: Illustration of the goodness-of-fit with the quantile-quantile plot for the heatwave Pacific North West 2021 using ERA528.
From: Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors
For a perfect fit, the quantiles of the sample (red dots) would be distributed over the identity line (black line). The uncertainties on the shape parameter provide a confidence band for the theoretical quantiles (grey shaded area), while the uncertainties on the location and scale provide a confidence band for the quantiles of the sample (red lines).
