ON ASYMPTOTIC DISTRIBUTIONS FOR EXTREMES OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SURFACE WIND IN CHINA

According to statistical inference method,the asymptotic distributions,concretely,Weibull and Gumbel distributions,for yearly extremes of surface temperature and wind in China were discovered.In this study we used the data of 173 stations for yearly maximum surface temperature and 158 stations for yearly minimum surface temperature and 83 stations for yearly maximum surface wind during the period from 1951 to 1982.Finally,the characteristics of the asymptotic distributions were discussed briefly.
