Convolution Method for Sea Levels

Derive the probability distribution for the sea level from a distribution for the tidal component and a distribution for the surge component.

The package development was initiated, directed and financed by the french Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire (IRSN).

The convolution method or Joint Probability Method (JPM) was initiated by Pugh and Vassie in

D. T. Pugh and J. M. Vassie "Extreme sea-levels from tide and surge probability" Proceeding of the 16-th Coastal Engineering Conference, 1978, Hamburg.

The method is described and illustrated in the book (in french) by B. Simon
