A preliminary analysis suggests that the VLF signal strength minima (in decibels) observed during transition fading can be described by the First Asymptotic Distribution of the statistical theory of extreme values. In addition, the distribution of outage time relative to a fixed threshold level during transition fading seems to follow the Third Asymptotic Distribution.
