Grid Point Pooling in Extreme Value Analysis of Hurricane Hindcast Data
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 135, Issue 2
Abstract
Grid point pooling is a commonly used method to account for hurricane track variability in extreme value analysis. This paper presents a simplified mathematical interpretation of grid point pooling. Through logical arguments and numerical experiments, some general guidelines are then developed for a selection of grid points to include in the statistical pool.
