A comparative copula-based bivariate frequency analysis of observed and simulated storm events: A case study on Bartlett-Lewis modeled rainfall
This paper presents important recent developments of a methodology pioneered by Onof and Wheater over the past two decades. It focusses upon rainfall model validation through the use of new statistical tools (copulas). This methodology identifies in what ways the models should be improved to reproduce more realistic storm structures. This led to Onof being invited to act as external expert on Flemish government funded research (2012-2015) on new methods for flood design (Niko.Verhoest@UGent.be; doi:10.1002/hyp.7867). Onof was invited to give a keynote lecture on this research at the International Conference on Mathematical Sciences in Kuala Lumpur (2013).
