Abstract
This chapter deals with an introduction to copula theory and its applications in hydrology and hydroclimatology. The copula theory is relatively new to this field but has already established itself to be highly potential in frequency analysis, multivariate modeling, simulation and prediction. Development of joint distribution between multiple variables is the key to analysis utilizing the potential of copulas.
