Summary

In this chapter, the copula modeling is applied to analyze compound extremes. The number of warm days (NWDs) and monthly precipitation are applied for the case study. The time-varying generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution with a linear trend in the location parameter is applied to model the NWDs after the change. The time-varying copula is applied to model the compound risk of hot and dry, as well as wet and cold days.
