P.: The statistical distribution of meteorological outliers, Geophys
[1] A general expression for the statistical distribution of the probability of the highest event occurring in a record is presented. This result can be empirically applied to situations where records are available for multiple geographical locations. The empirical estimation of the probability of t...
