Comparative evaluation of Poisson partial duration models for mixed flood populations     

Senarath T. Ekanayake  J. F. Cruise 《Stochastic Hydrology and Hydraulics》1994,8(3):207-218

Simple homogeneous formulations of two extreme value partial duration flood models are compared to more sophisticated compound formulations in terms of asymptotic performance of quantile estimates. The compound model formulations were developed to model flood series resulting from mixed climatological processes. It was found that only in the case of marked nonhomogeneity in the data samples did the compound formulation of the models offer significant advantages in terms of variance of quantile estimates. However, the estimates from the homogeneous model were significantly biased in the negative direction. This negative bias of quantile estimates from the simple model was even more pronounced when the more sophisticated Weibull model was used as the base.  相似文献   

Statistical distribution of natural fractures and the possible physical generating mechanism     

F. K. Boadu  L. T. Long 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1994,142(2):273-293

We have fitted field measurements of fracture spacings (from the vicinity of Lake Strom Thurmond, Georgia, U.S.A.) to the Weibull, Schuhmann and fractal distributions. The fracture spacings follow a fractal and Weibull distribution which implies that they were formed as a result of a repetitive fragmentation process. The limited variation of the fracture density with orientation in the study area suggests that the stress distribution generating these fractures may be uniform.  相似文献   

Extreme value theory based on the r largest annual events: a robust approach     

D. J. Dupuis 《Journal of Hydrology》1997,200(1-4):295-306

In Smith (1986, J. Hydrol. 86, 27–43), a family of statistical distributions and estimators for extreme values based on a fixed number r > = 1 of the largest annual events are presented. The method of estimation was numerical maximum likelihood. In this paper, we consider the robust estimation of parameters in such families of distributions. The estimation technique, which is based on optimal B-robust estimates, will assign weights to each observation and give estimates of the parameters based on the data which are well modeled by the distribution. Thus, observations which are not consistent with the proposed distribution can be identified and the validity of the model can be assessed. The method is illustrated on Venice sea level data.  相似文献   

Two-dimensional modelling of some CFC replacement compounds     

Oliver Wild  Oliver V. Rattigan  Roderic L. Jones  John A. Pyle  R. Anthony Cox 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》1996,25(2):167-199

The Cambridge 2-D Eulerian model has been used to study the potential atmospheric distributions and lifetimes of a number of CFC replacement compounds and their degradation products. The study has focused on HFC 134a and HCFCs 123, 141b and 142b and the major products formed by their atmospheric degradation. The loss of these compounds and their products by hydroxyl radical attack, photolysis and in-cloud hydrolysis have been investigated. The study has shown that HCFCs 141b and 142b have sufficiently long lifetimes to enter the stratosphere in significant quantities, where degradation leads to an increase in the total stratospheric chlorine concentration. The study has also highlighted areas where further experimental work would be valuable, in particular characterisation of the product channels for the degradation reactions and determination of the removal rates of the products in the aqueous phase.  相似文献   

Statistical estimation of mineral age by K-Ar method     

A. B. Vistelius  E. R. Drubetzkoy  A. V. Faas 《Mathematical Geology》1989,21(8):905-919

Statistical estimation of age of⁴⁰Ar/⁴⁰K ratios may be considered a result of convolution of uniform and normal distributions with different weights for different minerals. Data from Gul'shad Massif (Nearbalkhash, Kazakhstan, USSR) indicate that⁴⁰Ar/⁴⁰K ratios reflecting the intensity of geochemical processes can be resolved using convolutions. Loss of⁴⁰Ar in bioties is shown whereas hornblende retained the original content of⁴⁰Ar throughout the geological history of the massif. Results demonstrate that different estimation methods must be used for different minerals and different rocks when radiometric ages are employed for dating.  相似文献

摘要：目前贵州在短时临近降水预报客观算法方面研究匮乏，而短时强降水常常给贵州造成严重的洪涝灾害和地质灾害。将短时临近降水预报应用于气象防灾减灾、电网输电线路安全预警、水利防洪自动化方面是未来重要的研究应用方向。本文基于灾害天气短时临近系统（Severe Weather Automatic Nowcast System，SWAN）的定量降水预报(QPF)产品进行0～2小时QPF外推试验研究。利用贵州省地面自动站数据、SWAN 输出的1h-QPF产品、SWAN 1h定量降水估测(QPE)产品。选取2018年3次典型暴雨个例进行试验，采用融合订正技术，利用相似离度算法对降水强度位相进行调整、Weibull分布算法对降水极值分布进行订正、改进后的交叉相关法(Improved Cross-correlation Extrapolation Method，COTREC)进行降水外推预报。通过主客观检验对比，初步说明基于Weibull分布算法的降水极值订正对降水极值分布有很好的模拟效果。融合订正外推的贵州省短时临近定量降水预报产品（Nowcasting precipitation forecast of GuiZhou，下文简写为GZ_NPF）在大于5mm以上量级降水的TS检验中评分更高。GZ_NPF的空报率明显降低，但空报率降低的代价是漏报率相对提高。GZ_NPF总的相对误差减小，格点总降水量与实况总降水量更为接近。试验说明新的融合订正外推算法提高了0～2h短时临近降水的预报能力。  相似文献   

Mean slope-angle frequency distribution and size frequency distribution of landslide masses in Higashikubiki area, Japan   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Junko Iwahashi  Shiaki Watanabe  Takahiko Furuya 《Geomorphology》2003,50(4):349-364

Landslide mass size frequency distributions and mean slope-angle frequency distributions were calculated for slump, slide, and creep type landslides in the Higashikubiki area. Mean slope-angle frequency distributions closely approximated Weibull distributions. Size frequency distributions show power-law dependencies. Both can be explained by modeling landslides as linked uniform blocks in tensile force. Power coefficients for size frequency distributions were 2.01–2.32 (approximation to power functions) or 2.10–2.24 (approximation to Pareto distributions).  相似文献

The High Concentration Tails Of The Probability Density Function Of A Dispersing Scalar In The Atmosphere   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

R. J. Munro  P. C. Chatwin  N. Mole 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2001,98(2):315-339

The distribution function for concentrations of a scalar pollutant dispersing in the turbulent atmosphere has a finite domain that is bounded above and below. Three methods, based on extreme value statistics, are used to obtainestimates for the upper bound and to describe the high concentration tailbehaviour of the distribution; all three methods are applied to concentrationdata obtained from experimental atmospheric releases. Quantile quantile (QQ)plots are used to assess the goodness of fit of the resulting estimates of thedistribution, and also to compare the performance of the three methods. Thepredicted values for the upper bound are orders of magnitude less than thesource concentration, illustrating that molecular diffusion has a large effecton the high concentrations.  相似文献
