Open AccessCompounded wind gusts and maximum temperature via semiparametric copula in the risk assessments of power blackouts and air conditioning demands for major cities in Canada
A semiparametric copula joint framework was proposed to model wind gust speed (WGS) and maximum temperature (MT) in Canada, using Gaussian kernel density estimation (GKDE) with parametric copulas. Their joint ...

Open AccessChanges in the distribution of hydro-climatic extremes in a non-stationary framework
Hydro-climatic extremes are influenced by climate change and climate variability associated to large-scale oscillations. Non-stationary frequency models integrate trends and climate variability by introducing ...

Open AccessNonstationary Temperature-Duration-Frequency curves
Persistent extreme heat events are of growing concern in a climate change context. An increase in the intensity, frequency and duration of heat waves is observed in several regions. Temperature extremes are al...

Open AccessNorth Atlantic controls on wintertime warm extremes and aridification trends in the Middle East
The Middle East is one of the most water stressed regions in the world, receiving the majority of its hydrological input during the winter, in the form of highly variable and scattered precipitation. The persi...

Open AccessHistorical and Projected Surface Temperature over India during the 20th and 21st century
Surface Temperature (ST) over India has increased by ~0.055 K/decade during 1860–2005 and follows the global warming trend. Here, the natural and external forcings (e.g., natural and anthropogenic) responsible...
