This research aims to evaluate the performance of the Conditional Modeling Approach and various copula families in modeling environmental variables.
Analyzed three datasets from the Brazilian coast.
Evaluated eight parametric copulas including Gaussian and Gumbel.
Assessed dependence coefficients using Pearson’s, Kendall’s, and Spearman’s measures.
CMA outperforms copulas across all dependence levels, with minor limitations in domain-varying scenarios.
Parametric copulas show effectiveness only in high dependence scenarios, particularly the Gaussian copula.
At low dependence coefficients, copulas exhibit characteristics close to statistical independence.

Comparative evaluation of joint modeling methods for significant wave height and peak period, suggesting the CMA is more robust.
