Damage caused by climate catastrophes is severe, especially for the 1-in-100-year events. This study is aimed at assessing the frequency and spatiotemporal regularity of extreme weather events. Based on the selected Gumbel copula function, a joint trivariate distribution of weather events is established. In this study, different univariate return periods and return periods of the joint trivariate distribution are calculated separately. Second, the Moran index is used to determine whether there is a spatial correlation between weather events. In this paper, the spatial and temporal patterns of weather events are determined based on a geographically weighted regression model. The suggestion of adding Bayesian information to the model measurements to improve the model accuracy is presented. Finally, a wavelet neural network model is constructed to predict the probability of extreme weather events throughout the Americas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
