Short summary
After a new climate model is constructed, a natural question is whether it generates realistic simulations. Here, realistic does not mean that the detailed patterns on a particular day are correct, but rather that the statistics over many years are realistic. Past approaches to answering this question often neglect correlations in space and time. This paper proposes a method for answering this question that accounts for correlations in space and time.
