Abstract

Extreme wind speeds for various return periods during rainfall at six typical meteorological stations in Japan were estimated using the statistical method for extremes. The annual maximum wind speeds recorded from 1961 to 1980 at these stations were used for analysis. The annual maximum wind speeds were classified according to the amount of precipitation, and they were found to be well modelled by the extreme type-I distribution. Multiple regression analysis employing two parameters, i.e., annual maximum wind speed and hourly precipitation, was used to fit the type-I distribution.
