Exploring inter-basin correlations of tropical cyclones and tropical cyclone losses [Abstract]

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are one of the most costly natural hazards on Earth, and there is a desire to mitigate this risk. It is securely established that TC activity relates to ENSO in all oceanic basins (e.g. N. Atlantic). However, when a recent multi-basin review of correlation coefficients to ENSO was applied to a financial model of losses related to TCs, there appeared to be no significant inter-relationship between the losses between regions (e.g. US, China). It is therefore of interest to examine the chain of environmental and anthropogenic processes from TC genesis to financial loss to examine how correlations degrade. A number of hypotheses are statistically investigated, primarily using Spearman's coefficient and ranks to decouple dependency structures from the marginal distributions, but also Poisson regression.</p

Work flow for the development of the MFMO and deployment for use cases.

<p>Creation of the MFMO began with the consensus definitions of the FEED Working Group, which were turned into logical definitions and then annotated in OWL using the Protégé software, with relations and classes imported from Uberon and other ontologies. The use-cases test the competency of the MFMO through queries in Protégé, FEED, and two Textpresso sites (see text).</p
