Meteorological Extremes in Korea: Prediction, Assessment, and Impact.

The authors pointed out that studies related to the existing copula-based multivariate drought frequency analysis conducted in Korea provide return levels lacking reality for past drought events. In this paper, the concept of drought propagation was introduced to explain the interdependence between meteorological drought and hydrological drought. The extreme climates that occur around the world every year have a profound impact on the quality of life for mankind since they can cause natural disasters beyond our control, such as droughts and floods. They derive a drought severity-duration-frequency curve from the two methods of frequency analysis and use this curve to investigate how the ongoing drought phenomenon is evolving.
