Meteorological extremes and their variability on different time scales
The analysis of extremes is of increasing importance in meteorological science. This is mainly due to the associated damages caused by the events and the expected changes going along with changing climate conditions. Extremes are of relevance in different fields and can be classified by the time sca...
