Confidence intervals for time averages in the presence of long‐range correlations, a case study on Earth surface temperature anomalies

Abstract Time averages, a standard tool in the analysis of environmental data, suffer severely from long‐range correlations. The sample size needed to obtain a desired small confidence interval can be dramatically larger than for uncorrelated data. We present quantitative results for short‐ and long...
