Representativeness of long-term pattern: pattern correlations between the long-term FR (1950–2100) and other time periods in the CESM for the globe and by basin

Time period	Global	Atlantic	Southern	Pacific	Indian
1950–1975	−0.10	−0.28	0.37	−0.03	0.14
1993–2018	0.78	0.78	0.86	0.78	0.79
2020–2045	0.94	0.93	0.95	0.96	0.92

The correlations demonstrate the similarity between altimeter-era and near-future (2020–2045) FR patterns of rise in the CESM while highlighting the change in those patterns from the mid-20th century.
