20th century trends in the occurrence of extreme events: Storms, rainfall, hurricanes
| PI: |

| Abstract: |
To analyse trends in the occurrence of such extreme events. To compare trends for model output with those for measured data (which we have in case of topics 1 and 2; for topic 3 we could offer our collaboration with data people).
Objective:
To estimate whether such extreme events are likely or not to occur more frequently in future.
Method:
Kernel occurrence rate estimation. I introduced this to analyse flood occurrence in European rivers over the past 500 years (Mudelsee et al. 2003 Nature 425:166-169). In Mudelsee et al. (in press; Journal of Geophysical Research---Atmospheres) we show in detail the methodical edge of our statistical approach over other approaches.
Model data required:
Regional climate model output for above regions, at monthly or higher resolution. |
