From: Dynamical diagnostic of extreme events in Venice lagoon and their mitigation with the MoSE

The scatter plot d-\(\theta \) of the hourly values (gray dots) of the instantaneous dimension d and the inverse persistence \(\theta \). Stars indicate positive ESL events with no MoSE activation, squares refer to positive ESL events when the MoSE was operating, filled magenta circles indicate negative ESL events. The larger is the size of filled circles the more negative is the corresponding sea level. The colored stars and squares correspond to hourly values \((d, \theta )\) for each identified positive ESL event where colors refer to the sea level measured at Punta della Salute corresponding to different percentage of flooding.
