Simulation of the occurrence of drought events via copulas

ABSTRACT This study presents a method based on Archimedean and Gaussian copulas to simulate the occurrence of hydrological droughts. The droughts were characterized by theory of runs for four threshold levels and six univariate probability distributions were evaluated to represent the probabilistic...
