A copula-based drought assessment framework considering global simulation models

Study region: São Paulo state – Brazil. Study focus: Compound events, such as droughts and heat waves, may have severe impacts on human activities. Traditionally, they are characterized considering a univariate perspective. However, this approach may not be the most adequate to characterize such haz...
