myweatherman provides tailored services to the insurance industry to assist adjusters, catastrophe teams, and in subrogation with weather-related claims.
These services include:
Forensic Weather Analysis Weather Analysis Reports – Site-specific detailed weather analyses prepared in a formal written report with discussion, abstract, opinions, conclusions and data sources. Our Certified Consulting Meteorologists stand behind all our reports and provide expert support for additional consulting and trial testimony. We prepare customized reports for the following common types of weather related cases: Forensic Weather Analysis Weather Analysis Reports – Site-specific detailed weather analyses prepared in a formal written report with discussion, abstract, opinions, conclusions and data sources. Our Certified Consulting Meteorologists stand behind all our reports and provide expert support for additional consulting and trial testimony. We prepare customized reports for the following common types of weather related cases: Examples of the types of weather-related insurance claims and studies include: Weather Vulnerability StudiesDetermination of historical extreme weather events and their casual affect observed across an area to assist in the determination of insurance rates. Areas can include locations where policy holders currently exist and areas where an insurance company is proposing to write insurance and set rates. Weather Climatological StudiesDetermination of historical weather variables for a specific location or an area to assist in weather related claim settlement. Weather variables include air temperature, snowfall, rainfall, hail, wind, solar and lunar information. Slip and FallsSite specific weather variable reconstruction including precipitation type, depth and duration, air and ground temperature (maximum, minimum, hourly and sub-hourly), ice formation (type of ice and its casual effect), snow and ice freeze/re-freeze cycles and solar calculations (percent of sunshine, sun angle and azimuth). Flood DamageSite specific determination of rainfall depth and duration using Doppler Base Reflectivity data, ground and atmospheric truthed to surface and atmospheric observations. Flood damage sources include thunderstorm, general rain events and snow melt. Hail DamageSite specific determination of hailstone size, density, duration, and depth using Doppler Base Reflectivity data, NEXRAD hail algorithms, ground and atmospheric truthed to surface and atmospheric observations. Snow DamageSite specific determination of snow depth, duration, water content of the snow, and snow drift depth using Doppler Base Reflectivity and Velocity data, ground and atmospheric truthed to surface and atmospheric observations. Wind DamageSite specific determination of wind velocity, peak wind gusts, and wind direction using Doppler Base Reflectivity and Velocity data, ground and atmospheric truthed to surface and atmospheric observations. Wind damage sources include straight-line micro-bursts and tornadoes associated with thunderstorm cells and straight-line winds associated with regional scale weather features such as down slope and post-frontal winds. Automobile AccidentsSite specific determination of weather variables that contributed to automobile accidents. Weather variables include precipitation depth and duration, wind velocity, peak wind gusts, and wind direction, air and ground temperature (maximum, minimum and hourly), ice formation (type of ice and its casual effect), ice freeze/re-freeze cycles and solar calculations (percent of sunshine, sun angle and azimuth). Weather Event Return Frequency Interval DeterminationCalculation of rain, snow, wind, and flood frequency of occurrence. What was the frequency of occurrence of a specific weather variable? Was it a 50-yr. event, a 100-yr. event, a 500-yr. event? Can it be considered an "Act of God"? |
