Evaluate changes in wind wave height at different return periods and statistical distribution

A Statistical Approach for Wave-Height Forecast Based on Spatiotemporal Variation of Surface Wind

100-Year Return Value Estimates for Ocean Wind Speed and Significant Wave Height from the ERA-40 Data

In this article global estimates of 100-yr return values of wind speed and significant wave height are presented. These estimates are based on the ECMWF 40-yr Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data and are linearly corrected using estimates based on buoy data. This correction is supported by global Topographic Ocean Experiment (TOPEX) altimeter data estimates. The calculation of return values is based on th...

پهنه‌بندی سرعت وزش باد بیشینۀ احتمالی در دورۀ بازگشت‌های مختلف در بخشی از مرکز ایران

Wind is one of the important natural phenomena in arid and semi-arid ecosystems of the world. Although several studies have been conducted using the wind speed and direction to provide wind rose in each area, only a few of them investigated the possibility of wind speed at different return periods. Analysis of the maximum wind speed at different return periods, in a variety of projects such as ...

Evaluate the wind energy potential in Yazd

With population growth and progress of human society and human life needs to energy sources and also environmental pollution caused by fossil fuels, many countries are looking to use clean energy sources. Wind energy is one of them. In this paper was to evaluate the potential of wind energy in Yazd city. After review and analysis of meteorological data from 2011 to 2014 by software, the annual ...

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...

Reliability, 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...
