Abstract

This paper uses Gumbel-Hougaard (G-H) copula, Clayton copula and Frank copula to construct joint distributions of hydrological variables of the two typical stations on the Yellow River Region, including the annual maximum flood magnitude (AMFM), the annual maximum flood occurrence date (AMFOD) and the annual runoffs (ARs). The results give the joint distribution between each pair of the variables. Also an isoline of the concurrence return periods between the AMFMs of the two stations was drawn up.
