Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Extreme environmental events, such as floods, droughts, rainstorms, and high winds, have severe consequences for human society. Regional frequency analysis helps to solve the problem of estimating the frequency of these rare events at one site by using data from several sites. This book is the first complete account of the L-moment approach to regional frequency analysis. Regional Frequency Analysis comprehensively describes the theoretical background to the subject, is rich in practical advice for users, and contains detailed examples that illustrate the approach. This book will be of great value to hydrologists, atmospheric scientists and civil engineers, concerned with environmental extremes.

(24,5 x 17 cm). SS. 909-918. Original-Broschur mit Klammerheftung, unbeschnitten. (Sonderdruck aus: Water Resources Research). Erste Ausgabe mit einem beiliegenden "Errata"-Blatt. - "Man kann die Geschichte von Noah unschwer als eine Parabel über die Ungleichmäßigkeit der Niederschläge im Mittleren Osten erkennen, und die Geschichte von Joseph als eine Parabel über die Tendenz, daß sich nasse und trockene Jahre zu Regen- und Dürreperioden vereinen. In Vorlesungen über die 'Neue Formen des Zufalls in den Naturwissenschaften' (siehe vorliegender Artikel) habe ich diesen Geschichten die Namen Noah-Effekt und Joseph-Effekt angeheftet" (Mandelbrot, Die fraktale Geometrie der Natur). - Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, sonst gut erhalten.
