New statistical model reconstructs historical coastal surge data

Researchers have developed a new method for modeling and reconstructing extreme skew surges along the French Atlantic coast, crucial for coastal risk management. The study utilizes a peak-over-threshold framework and explores two approaches: the multivariate generalized Pareto distribution for modeling extremal dependence and a novel extreme regression framework for point predictions. The ultimate goal is to reconstruct historical skew surge data at stations with limited records by integrating information from stations with longer observation histories, such as Brest and Saint-Nazaire.
