  1. Maximum energy of hurricane tracks • Series of integrated PDI of hurricane tracks : 1880-2005 ▼ Series of annual maximum PDI • Corresponding potential predictors : NAO, SOI, AMO, Tropical Atlantic SST (beware : reduced SST), Global mean temperature

  2. Vector Additive Modelling of the GEV • WHY? Joint variations of non-independent parameters →structural trend models are often difficult to formulate Model LOCATION (µ), SCALE () parameters of the GEV distribution as smooth functions of covariates. For computation reasons, the SHAPE parametrer () remains constant in our study. µ=µo+f1(X1)+f2(X2) o+g3(X3)+g4(X4) = o Data driven approach rather than model driven approach

  3. Vector Additive Modelling of the GEV • HOW? Vector Generalized Additive Modelling technique (Yee & Wild, 1996) provides flexible smoothing via modified vector backfitting algorithm Implementation and vector spline: VGAM package in R (Yee, 2006). • WARNINGS • few predictors should be used in additive models • Only pointwise standard error estimates are provided, not the full covariance matrix: full inferences should be obtained using linear techniques • Convergence may be hard to achieve – use link functions : log()

  4. Additive effects estimation

  5. Vector linear modelling of extremes of PDI • Parametric models based on previous VGAM results • µ modelled as a linear function of SOI and SST •  modelled as a linear function of SST + change-point model in SOI • Deviance tests • Gumbel approximation is valid (p value : 0.36) • Change-point model in position -0.55hPa (same number of parameters, but better fit than linear trend in SOI)

  6. Modelled parameters of the Gumbel distribution

  7. 90th Quantile of the PDI distribution

  8. Standard error (DELTA method)

  9. Model fit

  10. Prediction

  11. Learning Cross validation Reliability plots

  12. Example 2 Evolution of GCM maxima of temperatures

  13. DATA • Annual maxima of air temperature • Period 1860-2099 • IPSL GCM (5th IPCC Report Assessment) • Concentrations of the GHG and aerosols are prescribed during the whole simulations using observations prior to 2000 and according to a SRES-A2 IPCC scenario for 2000-2100.

  14. EVOLUTION OF TEMPERATURE EXTREMES FOR ONE GRIDPOINT OVER FRANCE • CO2 concentration plays a major role in extremes rise. This evolution is modulated by time. • µ=f1(CO2)+f2(YEAR) =g1(CO2)+g2(YEAR) =constant

  15. EVOLUTION OF TEMPERATURE EXTREMES FOR ONE GRIDPOINT OVER FRANCE • VGAM exhibits linear dependency in CO2 for µ parameter. • Computation of GEV 90th quantile (VGAM and VGLM)
