The frequency distribution of the annual maximum (or minimum) values of meteorological elements
Abstract
It is shown that the probability P that the annual maximum value of a meteorological element is less than a given value x can be expressed as exp equation image where a and k are constants such that ak is positive. The parameters a and k can be evaluated from data of annual maximum values for a given period of years. Hence we derive the average highest and lowest in sets of T annual maxima, and also the maximum value to be expected once in T years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
