Risk Management Solutions (RMS) released an upgrade to its U.S. Hurricane Model, incorporating new datasets and scientific developments to advance the industry's view of U.S. hurricane risk.

Leveraging the latest advancements in computing power, RMS has run thousands of storm simulations—as many as 40 times more than are in the historical record—to generate a detailed modeling study designed to understand the way hurricanes decay over land, providing greater insight into hurricanes post-landfall.

These methodologies, which have been published in peer reviewed literature, are skilled at estimating tropical cyclone intensity over land than models informed solely by the limited historical record.  In addition, more powerful computing capabilities have been applied to largest deployment of a storm surge model to date.
