contents This paper introduces a class of copula models for spatial data, based on multivariate Pareto-mixture distributions. We explore the tail properties of these models, demonstrating their ability to capture both tail dependence and asymptotic independence, as well as the tail asymmetry frequently observed in real-world data. The proposed models also offer flexibility in accounting for permutation asymmetry and can effectively represent both the bulk and extreme tails of the distribution. We consider special cases of these models with computationally tractable likelihoods and present an extensive simulation study to assess the finite-sample performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, we apply our models to analyze a temperature dataset, showcasing their practical utility.
