Extreme wind speeds for various return periods during rainfall

The extreme wind speeds for various return periods during rainfall at six typical meteorological stations in Japan were estimated using the statistical method for extremes. The annual maximum figures recorded between 1961 and 1980 at these stations were used in the analysis. These extreme values, which were classified according to-the amount of precipitation, were found to be in close accordance with the extreme type 1 distribution. The estimated values were obtained using the multiple regression analysis with two variables; the annual maximum wind speed and the hourly average precipitation.
