Hurricane and Typhoon Catastrophe Modeling

Mastering the volatility of global tropical cyclones

From Atlantic hurricanes to Pacific typhoons, tropical cyclones represent the most significant threat to global solvency. Cotality provides the high-fidelity modeling required to quantify frequency and severity across every major basin, transforming climate uncertainty into technical precision.

Precision analytics

Probabilistic modeling for global tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclones have driven the largest insured catastrophes of the last 25 years globally. The Cotality model empowers insurers to master the frequency, severity, and geographic concentration of hurricane and typhoon risk. Use high-fidelity data to protect capital and manage volatility across any global portfolio.

30%

US hurricane contribution to global natural catastrophe damage, representing a primary driver of international reinsurance volatility

2.6

Average annual frequency of major hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, necessitating high-fidelity probabilistic modeling for solvency

234

Number of landfalling hurricanes in Florida, Texas, and Louisiana since 1850, highlighting the need for granular long-term risk analytics

Scientific foundations

Advanced hurricane and typhoon capabilities

Understanding global cyclone risk requires a multi-layered analytical approach. Cotality combines high-resolution atmospheric physics with location-level exposure data to deliver a comprehensive view of catastrophe risk. Our methodology ensures that every simulation reflects the true complexity of the global landscape.
layers

High-fidelity wind field modeling

Integrate axisymmetric gradient wind fields with specialized boundary layer models to produce continuous 10-meter sustained wind estimates. This technical precision ensures more accurate damage assessments across complex terrains

Granular risk for coastal concentration

Move beyond averages with high-confidence modeling for the entire coastline. Deliver precise results for isolated risks or complex assets nestled within dense urban concentrations to eliminate portfolio ambiguity

sync_alt

Seamless integration through Navigate™

Utilize standardized data inputs and secure cloud APIs to deliver scalable, real-time results. Our Navigate platform integrates high-fidelity catastrophe outputs into existing workflows with unrivaled speed and accuracy

Gulf of Mexico offshore energy risk

Utilize specialized hydrodynamic wave modeling and vulnerability assessments for offshore assets. This module accounts for complex coverages and unique financial contract terms specific to the energy sector to ensure precise loss estimates

High-fidelity modeling

North Atlantic Hurricane Model

Differentiate risk where it matters most.

Recertified in 2025 by the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology, our model combines high-resolution wind and storm surge data with advanced engineering research. By simulating the full spectrum of hurricane behavior—including low-probability, high-impact events—we enable precise risk differentiation at the property level.

From high-value residential assets to complex commercial structures, Cotality delivers the technical proof needed to align pricing and solvency with real-world hurricane and sub-peril risk across the U.S., Caribbean, and Bermuda.
