L-moments for automatic threshold selection in extreme value analysis [PDF]
In extreme value analysis, sensitivity of inference to the definition of extreme event is a paramount issue. Under the peaks-over-threshold approach, this translates directly into the need of fitting a Generalized Pareto distribution to observations ...

The Global Wind Resource Observed by Scatterometer
A 27-year-long calibrated multi-mission scatterometer data set is used to determine the global basin-scale and near-coastal wind resource. In addition to mean and percentile values, the analysis also determines the global values of both 50- and 100-year ...

Directional–seasonal extreme value analysis of North Sea storm conditions
Design and re-analysis of offshore structures requires the joint estimation of extreme values for a set of environmental variables, representing so-called long-term and short-term characteristics of the environment, subject to sources of systematic ...

In many applications, interest focuses on assessing relationships between covariates and the extremes of the distribution of a continuous response. For example, in climate studies, a usual approach to assess climate change has been based on the analysis ...

Impact of ASOS Real-Time Quality Control on Convective Gust Extremes in the USA
Most damage to buildings across the contiguous United States, in terms of number and total cost, is caused by gusts in convective events associated with thunderstorms. Their assessment relies on the integrity of meteorological observations.

The Topp-Leone generalized extreme value distribution: Extreme value analysis and return level estimation of the PM2.5 in Chiang Mai, Thailand [PDF]
In this paper, an extension of the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution called the Topp Leone-GEV (TL-GEV) distribution is applied. The TL-GEV distribution has four parameters (λ, μ, σ, ξ), and it has the three named sub-models TLGumbel (for ξ =

Extreme value analysis of wave climate around Farasan Islands, southern Red Sea
The study investigates extreme value analysis of wave climate around the Farasan islands’ protected coastal zone in the southern Red Sea. It provides an overall idea of the extreme wave conditions in the southern Red Sea, which are influenced by the ...
