Metryc input data

Metryc utilizes publicly available data from meteorological agencies such as NHC, JTWC or BOM as input to create the Metryc footprint.

Accounting for uncertainty

To account for uncertainties in storm behavior and environmental conditions, Metryc generates 100 ensemble simulations for each event. This probabilistic approach models variations in the wind field shape. The final output is a footprint map that represents the most likely maximum wind speeds at every 1-km grid cell.

Validated against observed wind speeds

Metryc is validated against meteorologically observed wind speeds reported by physical anemometers.

Validated more than 1,200 observations in the USA and the Western Pacific.

The mean absolute error is less than 5 m/s

In 90% of cases, Metryc is within 10 m/s of the observed peak gust

"Reask’s tropical cyclone wind data has quickly become a trusted cornerstone in Swiss Re Corporate Solutions’ ability to offer effective parametric insurance covers across the globe. Reask's deep expertise, speed of response, and willingness to engage in transparent discussions has consistently set them apart as a reliable partner.”
Martin Hotz
Head Parametric Nat Cat, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions
"Reask has helped PCRIC with structuring and pricing parametric insurance policies offered to Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Reask has also played a central role in calculating insurance payouts due to Pacific beneficiaries, within ten days after an event. This has allowed PCRIC to make rapid cash transfers and support response and recovery efforts in the immediate aftermath of a disaster."
Dr. Nicolas Pondard
Strategic Advisor to the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Insurance Company (PCRIC)
“Data dearth in certain regions remains a gating factor to providing parametric insurance covers that enhance resilience. Reask leads the charge in its ability to quickly capture a windstorm event or provide wind at location maps in certain areas, such as the South Pacific, where data is less accessible."
Kevin Dedieu
Co-founder & Head of R&D at Descartes Underwriting
“Choosing Reask as our partner was a strategic decision driven by their ability to deliver quality, high-resolution data on a global scale. Their approach to probabilistic modelling empowers us to calibrate and structure parametric contracts with precision, ultimately benefiting our clients with faster and more accurate risk transfer solutions.”
Regine Mollenhauer
Chief Underwriting Officer at AXA Climate
"A standout innovation is our double trigger solution, combining the well-established tropical cyclone “cat-in-the-circle” wind methodology with rainfall data from Reask’s Metryc footprint. This dual trigger captures the full impact of tropical cyclones, reducing mismatches between payouts and actual losses. The result is a product that is highly cost-efficient, precisely tailored to the client’s needs, and designed to minimise basis risk while maximising impact."
