Abstract: We analyse the statistics of extreme events in the boundary layer wind fields. We focus on the wind speeds that are long-term correlated and show that its distribution of the return intervals of rare events is a stretched exponential and the stretching exponent, to within the numerical errors, is identical to the long-term correlation exponent γ. We also analyse correlations among the return intervals which are themselves long-term correlated with an exponent close to γ. This work complements the results obtained by Bunde et al. (Physica A 330 (2003) 1).
