EXPERT MEETING ON REQUIREMENTS OF THE CATASTROPHE INSURANCE AND WEATHER RISK MANAGEMENT MARKETS FOR NATIONAL METEOROLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL SERVICES Challenges and oportunities Eduardo Delgado Assad Embrapa Information Technology assad@cnptia.embrapa.br Assad et al.(Embrapa e Unicamp) Geneve 05-07/2007
Principal climatic events storm drought hail frost High Temperature wind Assad et al.(Embrapa e Unicamp) Geneve 05-07/2007
Hurricane Catarina • Saturday, March 27, 2004 - Winds of 150km/h and waves with 5 m height reached Torres, in Rio Grande do Sul, destroying twenty one thousand of houses, with many people injured and homeless
Piracicaba 2006
Main problems: • - High variability in the rain regimen • - Sensible Regions of the influences of El Nino, La Nina • - Low density of official meteorological data. • losses provoked by droughts,storms, high and low T Assad et al.(Embrapa e Unicamp) Geneve 05-07/2007
High rates of losses Harvests 91/92 e 92/93 Needs principally rain and temperature data. Assad et al.(Embrapa e Unicamp) Geneve 05-07/2007

Global Data base: Temperature, rain Imagery Technology: Research to estimate rain, soil humidity and Real Evapotranspiration. Combine high spectral with high temporal resolution (1-3 days, 500 m) Common areas for climate/agroclimate research: Crop yields, soil humidity, forecast of extremes events, forecast models adapted to agriculture 10,15 and 30 days. Combine Meta-models with local models
