Scope note: Acontecimientos que tienen valores extremos de variables meteorológicas importantes. Extremo se define generalmente como que alcanza valores máximos o que supera los umbrales máximos preexistentes. Estos acontecimientos suelen ser raros; por ejemplo, velocidades extremas del viento superiores al valor de retorno para 100 años, que tienen una probabilidad de ocurrir en cualquier año concreto de solo 0,01.

Scope note: Events that have extreme values of important meteorological variables. Extreme is generally defined as either taking maximum values or exceedance above pre-existing high thresholds. Such events are generally rare; for example, extreme wind speeds exceeding the 100-year return value, which have a probability of only 0.01 of occurring in any particular year. (Stephenson, 2008)
