what's up with that graph? why not just have temperature on the Y axis and time on the X axis
edit: what about the scale too? how big is that shift?
It’s a histogram.
For those confused a histogram is meant to give you an idea of the "shape" of data. It does this by mapping frequency of data points. That said I'm not a scientist and I'm also not use to seeing them without any values like this
They're trying to show a change in probability distribution, not just a temperature change over time. I agree that scale and such would be helpful.
