Exploration of Use of Copulas in Analysing the Relationship between Precipitation and Meteorological Drought in Beijing, China by Linlin Fan, Hongrui Wang, Cheng Wang, Wenli Lai, Yong Zhao

“…The copula-based conditional probability indicated that the probability of meteorological drought decreased as monthly precipitation increased and that 10 mm can be regarded as the threshold for triggering extreme drought. From a quantitative perspective, when R≤10 mm, the probabilities of moderate drought, severe drought, and extreme drought were 22.1%, 18%, and 13.6%, respectively. …”

Experimental Study on the Spanwise Correlation of Vortex-Induced Force Using Large-Scale Section Model by Chunguang Li, Yu Mao, Yan Han, Kai Li, C.S. Cai

“…The research results indicated that the spanwise correlation of VIF and pressure coefficients on the measurement points were related to the amplitudes of vortex-induced vibration (VIV), both of them weakened with the increase of spanwise distance; the maximum value of spanwise correlation coefficient is situated at the ascending stage of the lock-in region, rather than at the extreme amplitude point. The amplitudes of VIV showed different impacts on the spanwise correlation of pressure coefficients on the measurement points of the upper and lower surfaces, for which the maximum value of the spanwise correlation coefficients is located at the extreme amplitude point and the ascending stage of the lock-in region, respectively. …”
