Statistics of extreme events in weather and climate (e.g. rare floods or strong wind storms) are commonly based on the assumption of Gaussian statistics. Sixty-two years of National Centers for Environmental Prediction / National Center...
This study uses the high-resolution infrared radiation AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)-only and microwave radiation AMSR (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer)+AVHRR sea surface temperature (SST) datasets to analyze...
This study investigates the changes in skewness and kurtosis of five atmospheric variables due to a change in the forcing of a primitive equation global circulation model. First, the average, variance, skewness, and kurtosis are...
Extreme climate events may be defined as atmospheric or oceanic phenomena that occupy the tails of a dataset's probability density function (PDF), where the magnitude of the event is large, but the probability of occurrence is rare....
Extreme events are phenomena which occupy the tail-end of a distributions PDF. While atmospheric phenomena are decidedly non-Gaussian, the exact shape of these tails of a distribution are relatively unknown. From stochastic theory, it is...
