On Estimating Hurricane Return Periods
Interest in hurricane risk usually focuses on landfalling events of the highest intensity, which cause a disproportionate amount of hurricane-related damage. Yet assessing the long-term risk of the most intense landfalling events is problematic because there are comparatively few of them in the historical record. For this reason, return periods of the most intense storms are usually estimated b...

متن کاملReliability, return periods, and risk under nonstationarity
Water resources design has widely used the average return period as a concept to inform management and communication of the risk of experiencing an exceedance event within a planning horizon. Even though nonstationarity is often apparent, in practice hydrologic design often mistakenly assumes that the probability of exceedance, p, is constant from year to year which leads to an average return p...
متن کاملSediment resuspension over a continental shelf during Hurricanes Edouard and Hortense
The present comprehensive physical and optical measurements have captured sediment resuspension associated with two hurricanes, Edouard and Hortense, that passed over the Coastal Mixing and Optics study site in the fall of 1996. Sediment resuspension associated with Hurricane Edouard was forced by combined current and wave processes. Combined current-wave bottom shear stresses exceeded 3.5 dyn ...
