    Summary: Covariance is used as an inner product on a formal vector space built on \(n\) random variables to define measures of correlation \(M_d\) across a set of vectors in a \(d\)-dimensional space. For \(d = 1\), one has the diameter; for \(d = 2\), one has an area. These concepts are directly applied to correlation studies in climate science.
