Summary
In this chapter, we will illustrate the application of copulas in rainfall frequency analysis. This chapter is divided into two parts: (1) rainfall depth-duration frequency (DDF) analysis; and (2) multivariate rainfall frequency (i.e., four-dimensional) analysis. The rainfall data from the watersheds in the United States are collected and applied for analyses. The Archimedean, meta-elliptical, and vine copulas are applied to model the dependence among rainfall variables. Application shows that the DDF may be modeled by the Gumbel–Hougaard copula. Both vine and meta-elliptical copulas may be applied to model the spatial dependence of rainfall variables. Compared to the vine copula, modeling is easier to do when applying the meta-elliptical copula.
