Extremes in a Changing Climate: Detection, Analysis and UncertaintyAmir AghaKouchak, David Easterling, Kuolin Hsu, Siegfried Schubert, Soroosh Sorooshian Springer Science & Business Media, 24 oct. 2012 - 426 pages This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art methodologies and approaches suggested for detecting extremes, trend analysis, accounting for nonstationarities, and uncertainties associated with extreme value analysis in a changing climate. This volume is designed so that it can be used as the primary reference on the available methodologies for analysis of climate extremes. Furthermore, the book addresses current hydrometeorologic global data sets and their applications for global scale analysis of extremes. While the main objective is to deliver recent theoretical concepts, several case studies on extreme climate conditions are provided. |
