Extending our modelling expertise beyond #tropicalcyclone winds was a big milestone for Reask in 2024. 

📜 After publication earlier this year, our #machinelearning TC precipitation model is now deployed globally (https://lnkd.in/dR2qRvJ3). 

⛈ It covers all active events at 1-km resolution, explicitly accounting for terrain influence and complex rain field asymmetries such as outer rain bands.

The example below shows how the model behaved immediately after completion of #HurricaneDebby (left panel) – without any assimilation of rainfall observations. NCEP Stage IV observations (available a day after) are also shown for independent comparison (right panel).

➡ #tropicalcyclone rain layers are now available for all Reask event response products: 
     1️⃣ #LiveCyc: up to 72h pre-landfall probabilistic estimates
     2️⃣ #Metryc; post landfall best estimates

Please get in touch with Louise Braybrooke CCRA, Alexandre Caillol, CFA or David Schmid for further info.

Our colleague David Schmid has posted an analysis of the limitations associated with cat-in-a-box methodology and the impacts of Hurricane Beryl on Jamaica.

#HurricaneRisk #HurricaneBeryl #CatBond #Jamaica #ParametricInsurance #NHC

👏 Exciting News! 👏 

We’re thrilled to announce the promotions of two outstanding team members:

David Schmid is now our Global Head of Data Products.

Balaji Mani is now our Principal Catastrophe Model Developer.

Join us in congratulating David and Balaji!

#Promotion #TeamSuccess #Reask

Today marks a great milestone for the Reask #LiveCyc team as we delivered our first 2024 rainfall footprints to our subscribers with #hurricaneBeryl. 

Congrats Balaji Mani, Nicolas Bruneau and Fabio Sato 💪 

⛈ Just like for our wind gust footprints, #LiveCyc rainfall accumulation maps account for projected rain field asymmetry patterns, local terrain impacts, as well as uncertainty in the NHC forecast parameters. 

The example below shows our best estimates 24h pre-landfall (left). The corresponding return period total accumulation levels over the city of #Houston are also compared to other notable events (see white dots, right panel) as well as Reask #DeepCyc stochastic view (red and lime lines).
 
🔎 This puts #Hurricane #Beryl at around the 10-year return level mark with a projected total rain accumulation of 275mm over #Houston.

Our #LiveCyc service is available globally, starting up to 3 days prior to any #tropicalcyclone landfall. Please get in touch with us for a demo and trial access – the season is just getting started…

🌀 Hurricane Beryl and the Challenge of Basis Risk and Uncertainty
 
⬆ As Hurricane Beryl reaches unprecedented strength, current forecasts predict its path to pass west of Jamaica. Despite this, significant wind speeds and rainfall could still be expected to impact the island.
 
Even with the hurricane bypassing Jamaica, overland effects can be severe, posing a challenge for insurance policies to pay out efficiently when needed most.
 
Reask is here to help with granular hurricane wind speed estimates down to individual locations, helping to mitigate basis risk. The schematic below shows the current NHC track prediction bypassing Jamaica alongside Reask's LiveCyc early warning estimates for wind speeds across the island.
 
📈 Overlaying median and 90th percentile Reask wind speed estimates with population data (source) reveals that a significant portion of the population could still face gusts in excess of 80 mph, even with the storm tracking west of the Island.
 
❓ However even a slight shift in the storm's trajectory can dramatically alter the risk, highlighting the huge uncertainty in quantifying wind speed and rainfall impacts, especially for small islands with complex terrain

Stay safe, stay informed.
