| Abstract: | A statistical model to characterize the long-term extreme value distribution of intensity of significant wave height conditioned to the duration of the storm and taking into account seasonality is presented in this paper. The model is based on a time-dependent version of the Peak Over Threshold (POT) approach and is applied to specific reanalysis time series and NOAA buoy records. The model allows consideration of the annual and semiannual cycles which are parameterized in terms of harmonic functions. The inclusion of seasonal variability substantially improves the correlation between the model and the data. | |
