- Third Party Resource Title: Climate change and extreme values analysis
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2018/activities/210225.html
- Description: In this activity, we learn where to get climate data (monthly temperature maxima and monthly precipitation maxima) from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). We learn how to fit a GEV distribution for extreme events analysis and how to calculate the confidence intervals of the analysis. We learn how to be critical about the results calculated, how to ensure the quality of the calculations performed and to put the results calculated with model in perspective to the empirical results. We will also use full and half datasets to reveal the importance of long climate record.
