Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Two-sided extreme conditional sampling regularly is coupled with copula theory to assess the dependence between flood-risk drivers such as extreme precipitation or river discharge and storm surge. The approach involves many subjective choices, including sampling techniques used to identify extreme events [block maxima or peaks-over-threshold (POT)], whether to account for the fit of marginal distributions, and time-lags considered between the two drivers. In this study, estimates of the potential for compound events at three sites along the Texas Gulf Coast, where the USACE is undertaking coastal storm risk management (CSRM) projects, were shown to be highly sensitive to the setup of the statistical model. A pragmatic approach accounting for marginal fit in a POT framework is proposed and was shown to provide stable estimates of the compounding potential for high discharge and storm surge events. We also explored the effect of using precipitation as a proxy for discharge in the absence of sufficiently long discharge records. |
