In this study, we estimated near‐surface wind speed 100‐year return values over the southwestern South Atlantic Ocean, using present‐day (1979–2018) simulations from the regional climate models (RCMs) WRF and RegCM4. Extreme wind events, associated with hazardous conditions over coastal and oceanic areas, must be well represented in numerical models for risk assessment, and few studies focused on...
