“Not all climate risk products are created equal.”

#ClimateChange is increasing the risk of atmospheric perils - which in turn is causing broader uptake of #CatastropheModels.

But as this recently published #JCRR research paper reveals, the range of loss estimates varies: buff.ly/tJJgjdt

Reask Metryc: A Probabilistic Wind Gust Model for Tropical Cyclone Event Response with Global Coverage - Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience
Abstract Estimating ground level winds during a Tropical Cyclone (TC) landfall is a time sensitive and uncertain exercise. The ability to quickly identify areas of highest risk provides critical…
