We review aspects of extreme value modelling relevant to characterisation of ocean
environments and the design of marine structures, summarising basic concepts, modelling …

sections dealing with fuzzy functions and fuzzy random functions are certain to be of special
interest. The reader is expected to be in command of the knowledge gained in a basic …

The generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) has been widely used in the extreme value
framework. The success of the GPD when applied to real data sets depends substantially on …

Use of wind speed data is of great importance in civil engineering, especially in structural
and coastal engineering applications. Synthetic data generation techniques are used in …

Abstract Changes to the Beaufort Sea shoreline occur due to the impact of storms and rising
relative sea level. During the open‐water season (June to October), storm winds …

Remote sensing has frequently been employed to monitor extreme climatic events,
especially droughts, by identifying the anomalies of vegetation activity from the regional to …

This study presents a comprehensive experimental assessment of three hybrid mooring
systems for a heaving-buoy wave energy converter. Free decay model tests are conducted …

The evaluation of the probability of occurrence of extreme natural events is important for the
protection of urban areas, industrial facilities and others. Traditionally, the extreme value …

Despite wide use of regression-based regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) methods,
the majority are based on either ordinary least squares (OLS) or generalized least squares …

The shape of power spectra both for typhoon and non-typhoon winds directly affect the
response level of the structure. The conventional deterministic spectrum models fail to …
