“…Compound flooding in coastal areas is commonly defined as the concurrences of anomalies of hydrometeorological variables (e.g., precipitation, surface runoff, river discharge, or streamflow) and oceanic variables (e.g., storm surge, tide, wave, and sea level) ( Bevacqua et al., 2019 ; Hao and Singh, 2020 ; Wahl et al., 2015 ) leading to flooding events. Coastal flooding risks may be underestimated if only the individual flood is considered ( Liu et al., 2022 ; Wahl et al., 2015 ). Early studies have evaluated the joint impact of rainfall and tidal level based on the copula model in several coastal cities of China ( Lu et al., 2022 ), such as Fuzhou ( Lian et al., 2013 ) and Haikou ( Liu et al., 2022 ; Xu et al., 2019 ).…”
