| Zusammenfassung |
| The present contribution addresses the performance of a statistical extreme
wind analysis over the whole Mediterranean Basin. Estimations of return
periods and levels are obtained over offshore areas through analysis of
annual wind maxima. An alternative regional statistic method, based on
regional L-moments, is also proposed. This regional technique allows
increasing the sample size, using data from a homogeneous region instead of
only from a single location, reducing therefore uncertainty. The performed
statistical extreme wind analyses provide a detailed assessment of
Mediterranean offshore high wind areas. |
