When storm surge and heavy precipitation co-occur, the potential for flooding in low-lying coastal areas is often much greater than from either in isolation. Knowing the probability of …

We present a newly developed Multivariate Copula Analysis Toolbox (MvCAT) which includes a wide range of copula families with different levels of complexity. MvCAT employs …
Extreme climatic events are growing more severe and frequent, calling into question how prepared our infrastructure is to deal with these changes. Current infrastructure design is …
When river and coastal floods coincide, their impacts are often worse than when they occur in isolation; such floods are examples of'compound events'. To better understand the …
Compound extremes correspond to events with multiple concurrent or consecutive drivers (eg, ocean and fluvial flooding, drought, and heat waves) leading to substantial impacts …

This paper presents an introduction to inference for copula models, based on rank methods. By working out in detail a small, fictitious numerical example, the writers exhibit the various …
Current drought information is based on indices that do not capture the joint behaviors of hydrologic variables. To address this limitation, the potential of copulas in characterizing …
Uncertainty in the predictions of science when applied to the environment is an issue of great current relevance in relation to the impacts of climate change, protecting against …
Duration and severity are the two most important parameters used for drought characterization. In this study, we used a bivariate copula‐based approach to understand …
