Hurricane Unwinder is building an intensity forecast for hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones. A one-point change on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale statistically translates to a seven-fold change in damages and intensity information is thus of key importance. In the long run, our goal is to find weather modification opportunities for downgrading the intensity.
Customer segments for the forecast include disaster management and (collateralized re)insurance that can use the intelligence to avoid some of the multi-billion euro physical and financial damages that hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones cause every year.
We provide a user interface with frequent updates, novel analytics and an intuitive presentation of probabilities for different intensities and tracks.
