“…Therefore, the Gumbel distribution is selected since only two parameters are required [17]. The estimation of the parameters is performed based on the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method [18,19]. The scale and the location parameter (α and β, respectively) can be estimated through the simultaneous numerical solution of the following equations:…”

The Arabian Peninsula is a region characterized by diverse climatic conditions due to its location and geomorphological characteristics. Its precipitation patterns are characterized by very low annual amounts with great seasonal and spatial variability. Moreover, extreme events often lead to flooding and pose threat to human life and activities. Towards a better understanding of the spatiotemporal features of precipitation in the region, a thirty-year (1986-2015) climatic analysis has been prepared with the aid of the state-of-the-art numerical modeling system RAMS/ICLAMS. Its two-way interactive nesting capabilities, explicit cloud microphysical schemes with seven categories of hydrometeors and the ability to handle dust aerosols as predictive quantities are significant advantages over an area where dust is a dominant factor. An extended evaluation based on in situ measurements and satellite records revealed a good model behavior. The analysis was performed in three main components; the mean climatic characteristics, the rainfall trends and the extreme cases. The extremes are analyzed under the principles of the extreme value theory, focusing not only on the duration but also on the intensity of the events. The annual and monthly rainfall patterns are investigated and discussed. The spatial distribution of the precipitation trends revealed insignificant percentage differences in the examined period. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the eastern part and the top half of the western Arabian Peninsula presented the lowest risk associated with extreme events. Apart from the pure scientific interest, the present study provides useful information for different sectors of society and economy, such as civil protection, constructions and reinsurance.

In a view of the fact that in modern realities of post-industrial information society, the share of intangible assets in the companies' value has significantly increased. The monetized value of an organization's reputation is a part of such assets which is mainly determined by external communications had arised an issue of ensuring reputation security that has become especially relevant. One of justifications for need to apply crisis communication management is also changed direction of modern business. The reason for the change in modern concepts of effective business management was the new criteria for the service sector efficiency, which is a consequence of intense competition inherent in this highly profitable field of activity, which increases the importance of reputation issues. In turn, the abstract concept of a company's reputation is formed by specific parameters that are important for target audiences and are expressed in the numerical characteristics of the value of intangible assets. Considering the fact that intangible assets often make up a significant part of the companies' value and determine their financial performance, the issues of managing the value of these assets represent one of the most responsible tasks of modern management. There is a definition of the concepts of crisis, crisis communication and communication management as an integral component of crisis management of an organization is given in the terminology of leading Russian and foreign academics. The paper shows the successful result which is critically dependent on communication management effectiveness. Thus, the subject of the study is crisis communication management; the goal is to build a model for analyzing the effectiveness of managing crisis communications. The achieving method of that is to use a mathematical apparatus similar to the apparatus of multi-discriminant analysis (MDA) of Professor Edward Altman. The scientific novelty consists in the application of numerical methods for analyzing the effectiveness of crisis communications, and the result is in describing a model for analyzing the effectiveness of managing crisis communications. The use of the model for analyzing effectiveness of crisis communication management would provide an organization with the opportunity not to lose the achieved level of capitalization, provided that the reputation/communication component is effectively used in its crisis management.
