We describe and illustrate a new approach for extracting and understanding the pattern of flow in complex, time‐dependent convection. In this approach we calculate the eigenfunctions of the two‐point correlation function and show that the two‐point correlation can be efficiently characterized by the dominant few eigenmodes. We apply this methodology to extract structural information from convection models with two phase transformations.
