Abstract: In the present paper, an estimation of dependence between extreme atmospheric pressure data at five locations of the Aegean sea is performed. Dependence measures χ and χ, as well as the coefficient of tail dependence η, are defined to give a summary of the correlations among data at different stations. A classical point process representation seems to be appropriate for the modelling of pressure data. The process requires an examination of the radial and angular components R and W of the data, focusing on the distribution of W for large values of R. Finally, joint probabilities of extreme events are evaluated using the Gumbel-McFadden and the Husler-Reiss bivariate threshold models.
