Full title :Statistical analysis of climate extremes / Manfred Mudelsee.

Summary

"The big climate question is how climate change affects climate extremes. More hurricanes such as Katrina in 2005? More floods such as that of European river Elbe in 2002? More heatwaves such as in 2003 or 2018? Where to invest resources? All this is not just scientifically challenging. It is also relevant for society and economy to survive. This is the first textbook on statistics and climate extremes. It explains the statistical methods in an accessible language. It provides the necessary software. Case studies on extremes in the three major climate variables (temperature, precipitation and wind speed) show how to use the methods. The book provides the datasets to allow replication of case study calculations. This book is written for students and researchers in climate sciences. It can serve as textbook in university courses. Also risk analysts in the insurance industry benefit from it"--
