The tropics are a region of excess heating from the sun and of towering cloud convection and rainfall in narrow latitudinal bands. Compared with areas at higher latitudes, the frequency of storms and the average strength of the winds are low.  4, record 1, English, - frequency%20of%20storms

The storm frequency is calculated by counting only the number of storms that occurred within the period between buying and selling. We focus on this number because the previous owner's storm experience or future storms that occur after the date of sale do not affect the seller's perceptions of risk.  2, record 1, English, - frequency%20of%20storms

Method which allows the substitution of a frequency distribution for floods by a distribution for rainfalls(for a given interval of time). It is based on the exponential behaviour of frequency distribution curves for low frequencies(log-log law of representation) and assumes storms large enough to saturate the soil.  1, record 3, English, - gradex%20method

Méthode qui permet de substituer à une distribution de fréquences de crues une distribution de pluies (correspondant à un intervalle de temps donné). Elle est basée sur le comportement exponentiel des courbes de distribution pour les fréquences rares (représentation log-log) et suppose des averses suffisamment importantes pour saturer le terrain.  2, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20du%20gradex

Harbour Design. In designing a harbour several factors must be taken into consideration(...) Foremost among these are the degree of exposure of the site, the direction and intensity of the winds, the frequency of storms, the height and force of the waves and the range of the tides.  1, record 4, English, - harbour%20design
