HIGH-RESOLUTION REFINEMENT OF A STORM LOSS MODEL AND ESTIMATION OF RETURN PERIODS OF LOSS-INTENSIVE STORMS OVER GERMANY

High-resolution refinement of a storm loss model and estimation of return periods of loss-intensive storms over Germany

A refined model for the calculation of storm losses is presented, making use of high-resolution insurance loss records for Germany and allowing loss estimates on a spatial level of administrative districts and for single storm events.Storm losses are calculated on the basis of wind speeds from both ERA-Interim and NCEP reanalyses.The loss model Dog
