A warming climate is associated with increasing hydroclimatic extremes, which are often
interconnected through complex processes, prompting their concurrence and/or succession …

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 …
