Estimation of extreme wind speeds with very long return periods

Estimation of extreme wind speeds with very long return periods

Long series of hourly mean wind speeds and the maximum hourly gust are simulated for four sites in the British Isles in order to investigate methods for the determination of extreme wind speed events. The simulation is performed using a one-step Markov chain model.
