We plot the configurations of water molecular dipoles in ab and ac cross sections at different temperatures obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. Red and blue colors correspond to directions parallel (blue) and antiparallel (red) to the b-axis; bright and faded tones correspond to directions along (bright) and against (faded) the a-axis. Since the dipoles lie within the ab-planes and have zero component along the c-axis, arrows in the ac-panels are artificially turned to indicate their directions in the ab-planes. For the analysis, angles of ±20° relative to the b-axis were taken from DFT-MD simulations. Filling factor is 75%.
