Shape parameter for K. GEV shape parameter for (a) local, (b) zonally averaged, and (c) average mid-latitude energy. GP shape parameter for (d) local, (e) zonally averaged, and (f) average mid-latitude energy. The circle markers indicate shape parameter values, for which the value of the KS-test is above 0.05. Grey horizontal line: theoretical shape parameter. The grey shading represents a possible range of the theoretical shape parameter according to the limits described in Section 2. The error bars show 95% confidence intervals of the maximum likelihood estimation. Different colours represent different latitudes.
