Applying Stochastic Small-Scale Damage Functions to German Winter Storms
Analyzing insurance loss data we derive stochastic storm damage functions for residential buildings. On district level we fit power law relations between daily loss and maximum wind speed, typically spanning more than 4 orders of magnitude. The estimated exponents for 439 German districts roughly range from 8 to 12. In addition, we find correlations among the parameters and socio-demographic da...
متن کاملThe exceptional influence of storm ‘Xaver’ on design water levels in the German Bight
Designwater levels for coastal structures are usually estimated based on extreme value statistics. Since their robustness depends heavily on the sample size of observations, regular statistical updates are needed, especially after extreme events. Here, we demonstrate the exceptional influence of such an event based on storm ‘Xaver’, which caused record breakingwater levels for large parts of th...
متن کاملSeals at sea: modelling seal distribution in the German bight based on aerial survey data
The Wadden Sea is an important habitat for harbour seals and grey seals. They regularly haul-out on sandbanks and islands along the coast. Comparably little is known about the time seals spend at sea and how they use the remainder of the North Sea. Yet, human activity in offshore waters is increasing and information on seal distribution in the North Sea is crucial for conservation and managemen...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Monitoring shipping emissions in the German Bight using MAX-DOAS
The manuscript entitled “Monitoring shipping emissions in the German Bight using MAX-DOAS measurements” presents remote sensing observations of NO2 and SO2 along a main shipping route towards the harbour of Hamburg. Ship emissions significantly contribute to the air pollution in these areas, and a monitoring of the air quality, in particular with respect to the impacts of the recent regulations...
متن کاملDistribution of Magelona species (Polychaeta: Magelonidae) in the German Bight (North Sea): a modeling approach
The aim of the present study was the development of species-habitat models for four Magelona species (Polychaeta: Magelonidae) found in the German Bight in the SE North Sea. Analyses were based on field data and data obtained from reexamination of material deposited in museum collections. In addition, data on environmental variables were retrieved from the sediment map by Figge (1981) and from ...
