  • Publication number: 20220057542
    Abstract: A tropical cyclone analytics system that stores a plurality of ranges for each of a plurality of weather conditions, identifies a forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies a predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies each country or region along the predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, and, for each country or region along the predicted path of the forecasted tropical cyclone, identifies forecasted weather conditions in the country or region attributable to the forecasted tropical cyclone, compares the forecasted weather conditions in the country or region to the plurality of ranges for each of the plurality of weather conditions, characterizes the forecasted tropical cyclone in the country or region based on the comparison of the forecasted weather conditions in the country or region to the plurality of ranges, and outputs the characterization for display to a user.

  • Patent number: 7191064
    Abstract: A method for conveying both a risk and the degree of risk of a severe weather at a particular geographic location is disclosed. The method involves receiving a location of interest from a requestor, forecasting a risk of severe weather for a specific time period associated with the location, computing a degree of severity level of the risk of severe weather for the location, and generating a report containing the risk forecast and the computed severity level that can be delivered or provided to the requestor. The severity level of the risk of severe weather is provided in an easy to understand graphic or other format.
