Abstract

It is shown that the probability P that the annual maximum value of a meteorological element is less than a given value x can be expressed as exp

where a and k are constants such that ak is positive.

The parameters a and k can be evaluated from data of annual maximum values for a given period of years. Hence we derive the average highest and lowest in sets of T annual maxima, and also the maximum value to be expected once in T years.

We give an upper bound for the expected value of the largest order statistic of a simple random sample of size n from a discrete distribution on N points. We also characterize the distributions that attain such bound. In the particular case n = 2; we obtain a characterization of the discrete uniform
