| Abstract: |
The pluvial and fluvial flooding in the United Kingdom over the summer of 2007arose as a result of anomalous climatic conditions that persisted for over a month.Gaining an understanding of the sequencing of storm events and representing theircharacteristics within flood risk analysis is therefore of importance. This paperprovides a general method for simulating univariate time series data, with a givenmarginal extreme value distribution and required autocorrelation structure,together with a demonstration of the method with synthetic data. The method isthen extended to the multivariate case, where cross-variable correlations are alsorepresented. The multivariate method is shown to work well for a two-variablesimulation of wave heights and sea surges at Lerwick. This work was prompted byan engineering need for long time series data for use in continuous simulationstudies where gradual deterioration is a contributory factor to flood risk andpotential structural failure. |
