<ul><li>Dependent variable, temperature, is radial extent</li>
<li>Independent variable is time, with month represented by rotational angle and year represented by evolving colors.</li>
<li>Original idea for climate stripes is from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Hawkins_(scientist)" class="extiw" title="w:Ed Hawkins (scientist)">Ed Hawkins (scientist)</a>, University of Reading.</li>
